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.

Since updating from 10.3.3 to 11.1.1 on my iphone 6s, my battery drain has increased dramatically. With 10.3.3 I could go all day listening to music and making calls and still be at 80%. Now within 3 hours or so I am down to 70% or lower. I could care less about emojis, I want reliable software. I am tired of going through my settings turning things down or off to fix this flakey IOS 11 update. Apple please take note and fix this issue. It is a problem reported all over the internet.

Also, Having some problems with Siri. She gets confused when asking (for example) to play a particular Beatle song, she plays some different song or group! I can deal with this to some degree but the battery drain really needs to be addressed. This was one bad release. I have been with Apple since 1993 and this has been the most frustrating to date. I will say, their phone support have been amazing with followups and call backs. That being said, the phone techs are at a loss with some of these bugs. I hope Apple comes up with a quick resolve, we are 3 updates into IOS 11 but there needs to be more.
