Ios 10.2 draining battery FAST!

As almost all the comments have pointed out, ever since iOS10.1.1 my battery life had "gone down the drain".

BUT, yesterday iOS 10.2.1 PB2 came out and my battery life has drastically changed (for the better) to what it used to be "pre iOS10.1.1 or 10.2.0".

If possible, I highly recommend downloading and installing iOS10.2.1 PB2 and updating today!

Best of luck!!!

For me it appears that the Messages / iMESSAGE app is the culprit. If you look in your Settings under Battery you can see the usage statistics. My phone has been off the charger for at most a total of 4.5 hours and Messages has used 51% of all the battery that has been drained since removing from the charger. (Half of that was background refresh and the other half me actually using it). During this 4 hour period in which my phone has been off the charger I have used almost 50% of that battery. I am experiencing a hot phone and percentages dropping by 10 in a short amount of time. (I have been on wifi this entire time as well).

This has certainly gotten worse with the last few updates. Apple at one point was even offering battery replacements due to faulty iOS updates and my sense is that they are trying to keep these issues on the hush.

I have also completed a iPhone restore in the last week or so.

my new battery on my iPhone 6 on 10.2 lasts only 4 hours , not of screen usage , just when I unplig the phone without using almost anything .... and then power off.....

is a bad Joke ...!!!!!

APPLE DO SOMETHING ...........!!!!!

24 hours later, I have an update. 10.2.1 PB2 is most definitely an improvement but it's not the whole 10 yards.

I would give it an 8.0 out of a 10.

Come on Apple!

Before update to iOS 10.2, my iPhone5 would always charge up to 100% while plugged to a wall socket and active. After the update, the phone battery drains much faster, moreover, it drains even when the iPhone is plugged to the power. Now, the only way to charge the phone battery is to switch the power off while plugging the phone to the power socket.

The most discouraging consequence is that I can't use Waze as before.

Both me and my brother experience fast battery drain after upgrading to 10.2 on iPhone 6. I went from 9.3.3 to 10.2 and there is a _significant_ difference.

Adding my voice to the chorus: Same problem with an iPhone 6S that I updated a couple of days ago to iOS 10.2. Since then I've had significant battery drain issues. Never had a problem like this previously.

at the apple service center in Rotterdam they have advised me to reinstall the software 10.2.

no results at all, Phone is getting hot (37 degrees C) and batt drains quickly.

They have no idea ... is a problem of IOS 10.2 .... if you install again ..... same probem...

Merry Xmas .....

Just did a full reset back to default factory settings...blew away everything and just barely got down reinstalling all my apps and the problem still persists. The battery drain is just unbelievable, even while plugged into the charger the battery continues to be dropping. Disabled every privacy and location setting you can think of except find my phone, and yet the problem continues...wish they would at least acknowledge that there is a problem with the new update 10.2. My IPhone 6S Plus has never had any problems in 10.0....problems started when I installed these latest 2 10.1 & 10.2. This update had a lot of new features, but the downside is that you must have your phone plugged into the outlet at all times. I am really considering jailbreaking the phone back to ios 9.3.5 only because it is completely unusable at this point, the most you can use the phone is about 1-2hrs before it requires to be charged again, and before you could go like 1-2 days and still have the 20% low power mode to go.

Well anyways I am just throwing my troubleshooting out there... as well as my frustration, my head against the wall on this update...

Battery drain is horrible with 10.2. Never had a problem with any iOS release until this one. Apple please patch iOS 10.2 pronto.

I've had the same problem when I updated to 10.1.1. And now with the 10.2 I don't see it worse but more of nothing changed. My battery is draining by around 4% every 10 minutes.

I charged phone last night up to 100% turned it completely off and when I woke up (7 hours after) it's still 100%.

When I don't turn it off, I wake to it with 20-30% battery remaining. And this happens even if I turn off wifi, Bluetooth and data.

Tonight I'll try putting it on airplane mode. And see what happens.

I HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH BATTERY LIFE SINCE DOWNLOADing IOS10.2 it's drains very fast!!! I'm def not happy about this!!
