Battery drain iOS 11.2

I have an iPhone SE and iPad air 2 and have updated to 11.2

The battery life is terrible. I have low power mode on at 95% battery and most of the time on standby since the 11.0.1 update. There is an average battery drain of 30% on standby with low power mode on, mobile data, Bluetooth, back ground refresh and location turned off, and brightness at minimum and with night mode on. The same was not the case with iOS 10. With WiFi Bluetooth and mobile on and brightness at almost half, I used to lose not more than 4% on standby.

On actual use it's plain appalling. My battery lasts barely 2 hours on actual usage. Under iOS 10, it came almost up to 12-15 hours of moderate usage. Fix this nonsense soon.

I came from android only after seeing first hand the battery performance and fluidity of an iPhone. Now I actually prefer my android. Get your act together. I actually prefer battery life over fancy new features.

I'm sorry, but you are not addressing Apple here, this is a user to user support forum, and Apple does not participate here. If you wish to see Apple fix something, you need to use their feedback link here, https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

If you wish to see about troubleshooting the issue yourself, the first place to start is to check Settings>Battery and see what is using the highest percentage of your battery and troubleshoot from there. I've not seen battery issues with iOS 11.x and have been using iPhones for quite some time. If you find you prefer an Android operating system device, then that is your choice. No one here would fault you for choosing a device that fits your needs.
