Q: iOS 9.3.3 Draining Battery

Hi. After updating to iOS 9.3.3 2 two days ago, my battery life has decreased significantly throughout the day.

50% battery drain after 4 hours on standby!

Apple, please fix!

    i have the same problem. No solution. Apple messed up. The battery drains like crazy. I shut off Siri as per someone's suggestion. No help.

    I am having the same issue.  I wasn't having this kind of battery problems on 9.3.2.  I'm planning on restoring to 9.3.2 tomorrow as I depend on my phone too much.

    I am having the EXACT same problem and the culprit is showing as Safari, draining it 54% although it's only been on the screen 2 minutes. Bluetooth is off, background app refresh is off, I've done all the tips the article recommended, I've rebooted and everything. It is just continuing to drain. I don't know what to do. I updated to 9.3.3 on Sunday the 24th and I've seen this behavior ever since. In fact if you look at the battery drain over the last 7 days, you can see that Safari is draining it only 14%, however, in the last 24 hours it has jumped up to 54%. Also, I took this to an Apple store and they didn't have a clue what it was either. It's not like I can turn off Safari or even uninstall and reinstall. PLEASE help us find a fix, this is unacceptable.
