iOS 11 draining battery...

The stories above mirror my experience exactly, except I have an IPAd. Apple refuses to admit responsibility to the point that it’s support team acts surprised to hear about the problem <despite the large number of similar issues>. Apple is now a commodity and it’s price will soon have to follow-who will pay a premium for this behavior?

Haze is spot on...ive spent 5 chat sessions...1 visit to apple...2 lengthy calls...all for them to tell me "nothing we can do" because both my phone and my daughters phones now crashed (froze) once the IOS11 was downloaded...

Let me preface by stating we have 5 phones...2 imacs...4 ipads...for home use. In my business...4 ipads...2 phones...2 imacs....

Complete BS!!!!!

I've had every generation of Iphone....and my daughters all want watches this xmas....

#1. I am NOT purchasing them watches

#2. I am going to shop androids...hard to change...but I have to do it.

#3. Not sure why the new regime is taking such a crappy stance when THEY caused these problems.

#4. Apple has never been a "customer" friendly place because they always have the stance that they are correct......its been a place "we the customer" sought and dealt with because we needed what they had to offer.....Unfortunately for them.....we now have other options finally that can rival their offerings.

I had the same problem on my iPhone 6. I tried all the resets and limiting background apps Didn’t make a difference. finally replaced my battery as a last resort. Since the battery has been replaced my iPhone 6 is like new! You can read news stories about Apple slowing phones down when battery is older but they didn’t tell anyone!

Long time Apple customer but had enough after this bs move. Pay $1150 for a phone that last 2 years?? No thanks! switching to android for next phone. PS replacing the battery yourself is a pain unless you want to pay Apple 80 more dollars for a 25 dollar battery.

I hope Apple is internalizing this growing trend of disolution on the part of its original hard core groupies. Unless Apple becomes more responsive to the open alternatives available to Android in all kinds of apps which do not cost money and broaden the uswr horizon, it will find itself in trouble. My own family has seen 4 iphone users move to Androis in the past 2 years. This is a trend and Apple had better wake uo.

Thank you.

I have the same problem since iOs11. I flicked out all the background tasks today and left it alone for 2hours and it had drained from 53% to 8%. Checking the battery settings page shows 38% used by Home & Lock Screen.

Batteries have been draining extremely fast since downloading iOS 11

Yes. Remarkably fast drain now on a 6 plus. Tweaked location services & run in low power mode. Still poor. It supposed to get better over time. We’ll se

My iphone 6 plus has drained to 50% by just chatting on facebook in 2 hours since the update. There is a huge battery drain problem.

I have tried resetting twice, and nothing. I am not a heavy phone user, but it is draining like crazy!!

Reset doesn’t work. Tried it twice

I have tried resetting as suggested. It doesn’t work. Battery still drains fast as before.

I haven't used Siri much. The other day I had to reset it. It didn't register in battery usage. OTOH Facebook did.

Have the same problem... IOS 11 is killing my phone. Someone told me that this often happens after Apple releases a new phone.?

Something that has helped battery issues in the past, is to backup the phone, restore the phone to the factory settings and then restore the phone to the backup.

Forgot to add, I kinda suspect APFS might have something to do with this.
