ios 11.1 battery drain

I’m having battery issues and performance issues. As soon as I updated to ios11.0 I cant use my phone throughout the day without charging. This is a work phone and I’m not using it that much at all. My phone worked great before upgrading. Now it responds slow. It seems to freeze now. It’s junk for half the day. Oh ya and iOS 11.1 didn’t fix the problems. The people at apple are releasing things too fast or have a horrible testing and quality process.

On updating to IOS 11.1.1, my IPhone 6 is overheating and the battery drains from 100% to nothing in a matter of a few hours.

1. Unable to activate TouchID.

2. Permanently turned off Background App Refresh

3. Turned off wifi and Bluetooth.

4. Turned on Low Battery Mode

5. Tried Hardboot with no success.

6. On standby battery drains in less than three hours completely from 100% to 0.

7. Even in Aeroplane Mode battery is draining from 100% to 0 in less than three hours.

Any solutions greatly appreciated. Overheating and battery drain issue started since IOS 10.3.2 update.

I too have a 6s, even replaced the battery. 11.1 and 11.1.1 have done ZERO to address this issue. I am charging 3x per day, whereas a single charge previously got me thru an entire work day. LAME Apple. I am a fan for life, but this is HORRIBLE.

Apple what the **** are you doing? has Microsoft taken over? Nothing good for (my) use has come to my iPhone 6s as a result of the latest update! You have moved stuff around, changed the colour of things and made it oversensitive. I use my iphone for photos and its gps a lot on surveys in the middle of the countryside....today it went from 100% to 1% in 30mins whilst using photos app...I was even closing the app between each photo (only took about 40). This has made my phone unreliable and useless. I used to go several hours with google maps and photos open whilst on surveys.

Please sort this out ASAP, it was such an amazing phone wth great battery until this update, now its a waste of time and battery!

Done it! May I add, nobody should bother with the online chat support....it took 30mins to answer my actual question...when will it be fixed? , answer = "they have no timeframe".

I need a phone that lasts more than a couple of hours for safety....New phone it is then! Maybe apple should pay for breaking it! 😁

If I look at the Battery Drain statics in the settings mode, It appears Siri is using the most power. I don’t use Siri a lot aside from asking what time it is or play a certain song. Is the youtube issue a factor if it is installed but not being used?

j really don't understand why Apple is managing in this way. J mean, it is quite unusefull one smartphone of 130 grs about, if j have to take with me also an other 300grs of a spare battery. Please Apple do it better. Give us less emojis or whatsoever other unworthy amenities to have exchanging with a full day battery. Thanks from the deepest part of our heart

Hi there. I’m having serious issues too with my iphone's 6 plus battery life. In iOS 10.3 it took about 52 minutes to drain from 100% to 99%, since full charge. Now in iOS 11 it took only 20 minutes to drain until that 99%. What’s going on here?. I think apple needs a serious fix to this battery issues, especially for older cellphones. I could easily went through 2 days with medium usage (55 to 60% at the end of the first day). Now the depletion rate is way too high, even in standy by mode (approximately a 10% for 9 hours). As i write this, I’m currently in 94% with 40 minutes of usage. Unacceptable apple.

Upgraded to 11.1. Battery drain terrible.

Changed battery on5s hoping it would be better. But same. Maybe for Christmas we’ll get an update to fix.

All I want for Christmas Apple is better battery life or a new Samsung phone.

Hi.

Same as my iPhone SE. I restart my phone and battery usage percentages appear as per app. But they later disappear. They don't hold.

No big deal, though, for me because I don't have excess battery drain issue. But for people with battery drain issues, the percentages mean a lot, I believe.

You may try restarting your iPhone to see app battery usage percentages. But they will not hold.

Hope this helps.

Cantrax, of course it is not a battery issue.
All users around the Globe are complaining about it.
And Apple doesn't say a word about it.

I have a very old "Captain Kirk" flip open Nokia model and its battery is still OK.

Apple should stop worrying about 70 new Emojis and start worring about BATTERY LIFE.

I have the same issue with my iPhone 5s. I regret the day I updated to iOS 11. That was a stupid move from my part. Being an Apple fan for so many years I should have know better.

Everything was fine with 10.3.3 and now it has become into a nightmare. I have to charge my phone at least 2 times per day when I'm not even using it much.

Does Apple even care about this issue? Are they working to fix it? I'm not aware of them saying anything about it!

Absolutely agree! I so regret updating to iOS 11 from iOS 10.3.3 on my iPhone 6s - the battery used to run for days without needing a recharge. Now I'm lucky if I can get through half a day with moderate use. It's absolutely ridiculous!!!

I am so frustrated daily as I feel I can't take my iPhone with me during the day without fearing the phone is going to run out of battery. My iPhone 6s used to last for days on one charge with moderate use, now I'm lucky if it lasts for half a day.

iOS 11 is proving to be such a pain!!!

What adds insult to injury is Apple will not let users revert back to 10.3.3. They essentially broke our phones with this bug ridden update and cannot figure out how to fix it. I saved a copy of the ipsw 10.3.3 file but I am not sure how to load it. If someone can figure it out, I have it!
