IPHONE 6 Fast Battery Drain Ios 8.1.1

Dear All,


I bought an iphone 6 few days ago with full pride thinking that just because i have an iphone 6, I'm not going to face anymore problems, but i was wrong.

At first i was using ios 8.0.2 and I was experiencing fast battery drains; my total usage time was surprisingly less than 7 hours. I thought to myself the problem is from the software; after updating to ios 8.1.1, the same problem still exists; having very fast battery drains.


Please inform if this is a software or hardware issue and what are the solutions to this.


Thanks for the prompt response,


Hassan

All of a sudden, after many restores without any success, my iPhone 6 started to drain battery more reasonably...

I was ready to mail it to apple for repair or replacement, but I've decided to give it a few more days and observe if the battery is really draining up correctly, or if it is just temporary.

The overheating has disappeared as wel...

The most horrendous thing happened to my Iphone 5S after my update to 8.1.1 recently . After heating the metal body and the entire phone the screen cracked open . I went to the Apple store to show this and to my shock it was confirmed by them that in the last one week nearly 20 people have been coming to them complaining about screen cracking up with heat . They told me that the same has been reported to Apple but no revert is forthcoming . They have assured me of a new replacement phone .

I have the same issue.

And did everything I could to try and make my iphone 5s usable.

Many times or restores, resetting settings and absolutely everything which was mentioned everywhere over the internet.


My old iphone 4 (which was replaced by iphone 5s) is amazing at its job of being a multitasking phone and managing to work all day.


Need iOS 8.1.1 fix or a reasonable solution!!!!


P.S. by the way in the battery usage the biggest battery eater is "Home & Lock Screen".
