iOS 11.0.3 battery drain problem

After installing iOS 11, the battery of my iPhone 6 began to drain drammatically. iOS 11.0.1 solved the problem, but unfortunately 11.0.2 and 11.0.3 brought the problem back again. I have been using iPhone for years and I have never seen a problematic iOS update which kills battery life so badly. Is Apple aware of the battery problems? Is this problem going to be solved with the next update?

Some folks are having severe battery drain issues, I know I am. Check out twitter if you don't believe me - there are several posts every hour with people complaining about this. Apple - please fix this ASAP.

I have noticed that no matter what you do, battery drains at constant rate of approx 10%/hr on phones higher than 16gb, my sons iPhone 6S Plus 16gb has no such issue, that means apple has intentionally did some tweaking with phones higher than 16gb so that either we should upgrade our iPhone 5,6,7 versions or leave iPhone and go for Android.

Intentional tweaking means you'd have to provide the proof, which in any case you probably won't be allowed to. You're going to have to hunt this issue down yourself, as I have everything running full tilt on my phone, and my battery drops 1% in an hour under normal use. Maybe 2% if I'm lucky. Everyone uses their phones differently. Over 8 hours I'm lucky if I lose 40% of the battery, it clocks in at 35-40%.
