iphone ios 8.4.1 battery life is poor

I Upgraded my iPhone 6 to ios 8.4.1 & now my battery life has been reduced to 4 hours or less. I have tried various remedies including turning off all app background processing & both hard & soft system resets but to no avail. Additionally, my wifi performance has become sporadic. The phone frequently drops or does not connect to wifi networks that I used to have excellent performance against. I am not happy with this upgrade, especially due to the battery performance, & wish I had left it at ios 8.4. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. Try to follow the instructions on this page in order to maximize your battery life: https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

You may also try to reset all settings: go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

You may also try to follow these steps:

1. Navigate to settings/general/ battery usage. Check the applications. This will show you which app eats up your battery.

2. Turn off iCloud keychain: Navigate to Settings/ iCloud/Keychain / turn it off.

3. Limit apps activity on the background: Navigate to Settings/ general/ Background App refresh/ turn it off for each application which uses to much power.

4. Disable auto brightness: Navigate to settings/ display and brightness/ auto-brightness. Turn this option off.
