battery life iOS 11.2.1
Can watch mine drain with nothing running and background app refresh off. Location disabled also.
Why is this so bad with this update? Are apple working on this?

Same problem. Same phone. It's infuriating.
Apple apparently has a hidden a secret power mode deep inside iOS that deliberately slows your device:

iOS 11.2.1 on a 6s, exact same issue. Quit all open apps, battery life at 14% after being unplugged for 9 hours, zero phone calls, just incoming emails. But I plug in on the drive home after work, and after 5 mins or so battery life shows at 40-45%. I’m wondering if part of the problem is that the battery life indicator is AFU ..
It is probably not the app but but your email account that is the culprit. If it is an old POP3 account and you have lots of old emails it spent those 9 hours downloading them. If it is an Exchange email account most like something has gone wrong with verification and your iPhone and the server are constantly pinging each other. Contact your Exchange administrator and they can look at it from their end and fix it.
Same problem with iPhone 7 32gb. I used to let background app refresh turned on before this update and, even disabling it, the battery is draining so fast. I really hope apple fix it in the next update, cause my iPhone experience is unfortunately getting worse each day.
If a phone battery life is fine before a IOS update and it becomes poor after a IOS update... then it is the new code from the IOS update that caused the issue... not the hardware. The phone is fine and the code update strategy is failing. Time to regroup and redefine Apple. I among many others are moving to Android and other OS driven devices.
Same problem iphone 6s plus here!
Im opening google maps and every second battery falls 1% i haven’t got this problem with ios 10.2.1 that i had before!
Also battery life before was one day and a hald and now needs a charging on about 15 - 18 hours
I had the same problem, they increased the polling of Airdrop. Just disable Airdrop until you need it. Then hold down the power button and volume down at the same time until you see the white Apple logo. Phone will reboot and no more battery drain.
Yeah what is going on. My iPhone 8 plus battery suddenly drains within an hour or using! Theres something seriously wrong with the 11.2.1 update. My phone also started to heat up. Significantly warmer on the backside.
just had a battery changed today at a cost of £79. hopefully this will resolve the issue. can’t help feeling dissapointed i’m apple as this seems to close to an ios upgrade. i have always loved apple, but this is my first negative experience both with product and store
Yes, but if you just updated and all of the devices are backing up to iCloud and updating spotlight this would be normal. If you have the same Exchange email account on all of them that could cause an issue.
Yep. Exact same thing happening to me. Have a brand new battery (2 months old) and it was working so well, all day battery life and now it is going from full charge to dying in 90 mins with minimal usage
This is a bad situation, I took my phone off of the charger at 7:40am to go to church....and it's at 11% with no use today and it's only 1:30pm. Before IOS 11.X, I could go from 6am to 10 pm and only hit 40%...*** happened?
Sorry to say but I'm heading to Sprint with my trusty old Galaxy S5 to switch my service until this mess gets worked out. I refuse to go to work and carry around a charging block and lightning cable in my pocket like a 14 year old at the mall because Apple does not have a rollback process for updates.
I'll keep following this thread so please let me know if when the OS is fixed.
Nothing running and battery draining with as soon as 11.2 was installed. No help from diagnostics or senior advisors. This has encouraged me to dump Apple ecosystem and no longer buy Apple Inc hw. Switching to S8 if this is not fixed soon.
I'm seeing this too.
I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone 6s, both with "good" batteries. I have come back to the iPad once and the iPhone twice to see the devices switched off reporting 2% battery and unuseable, having been left in standby prior to having a good level of charge. A quick charge of the iPhone takes a reported flat battery back to 72% in little time. This points to a software issue, especially after the recent inclusion of new battery management features.
I was out yesterday and left high and dry without a phone, despite charging to 100% 2 hours prior to leaving home.
Sort it Apple - This is unacceptable. In the 8 years of owning iPhones, I have never before seen this behaviour.
Interesting that the article below discusses security flaw fixes rolled out in 11.2 which Apple claims does not slowdown performance but does not discuss what it does to your battery...
