ios 11.1 battery drain

Like most, I was suffering from a huge battery drain since I have upgraded to ios 11.

I have waited for ios 11.1 as everyone was mentioning that it will fix the battery issue. I have upgraded to ios 11.1 two days ago but now I feel that my battery is draining even faster. I can see the battery percentage dropping 2 points every 2 to 3 minutes of usage.

A fully charged iPhone 6s running ios10 used to last me a full day. Now I need to recharge 2 to 3 times per day for the same workload.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.1

Hi Wazicop,

Like many iPhone users, you are suffering the same as them because Apple have sent a letter out to their Apple websites saying that they will be slowing down iPhones 6s Plus and lower because of old batteries. They say that you can get a new battery for a way cheaper price, like for $29 instead of like $100. Your problem sits perfectly in line with the letter, so if I were you, I’d get a new battery.

I’m in the exact same situation. 6s Plus would last all day with normal usage, 11.01-03 was worse but would maybe have to charge once per day. 11.1 has required a recharge 2-3 times a day. Standby drain brings it down from 100 to 95% just while i get my morning coffee and get the kids up. Listening to pods/music via Bluetooth for an hour and it’s down from 95%-70%

Exactly! Would I rather have 70 new Emojis or my battery drain issue fixed? Hmmmm... let me think! That's a no brainer. :-)
