iOS 11.4 battery = disaster! Handoff is culprit?

I think you may be on to something. I just installed a bunch of smarthome apps and to get all of the functionality, I had to add my address to the apps and my contact profile. Since then battery has been draining like crazy. I took the phone in and was told the battery was fine. I've done all the little tips and tricks to extend battery life and nothing has helped. I just deleted my address info in the phone. Curious if that will make a difference.

iOS cannot be downgraded. Sorry.

Update : ios 11.4.1 beta did not solve the problem.

Might try a restore anyway, although all was just fine until I installed 11.4

I got the same in iOS 12 beta. It only helps to turn connectivity of going into dumb mode

Hi,

completely the same here.

Mail uses more than 50% overnight, and drains my phone from ~90% to empty, even with all apps closed, bare minimum background updates and location services.

With 11.3 no issues ast all!

And battery condition is stil reported as good.

Need to have this fixed soon, carrying spare batteries and asking for a power socket everywhere is very annoying!

Yes this are good words, i have the same probleme and troubles with my iPhone 8 Plus. Yes ist is totaly unaccepteble. I am filming with my iPhone and i dont want every Hour to Plug in my powerbank.

Please Apple Signe the iOS 11.3. for downgrade.

Sorry my Bad english

same problems here. iphone 6s, as soon as i upgraded! its so ridiculus that Apple doesnt recignize the issue AND release a fix urgently to everyone! never had to say that before, but SHAME ON YOU APPLE TO LET YOUR BEST CUSTOMERS DOWN!

Hi, I have iPhone 6s, my battery life has been reduced by ~50% with iOS 11.4

! Without any change in my usage pattern.

My battery health is 96% (device is just 6+ months old). I used to get from 100% down to a single digit in a day+ (30-35 hours) with iOS 11.3.1, now it takes 15-16 hours! And my daily usage pattern hasn't changed a bit. It started immediately after installing 11.4 two days ago (official version, I do not install betas).

I suspect handoff between iPhone and my Mac is the main culprit. Today took my phone off the charger in the morning at 100%. After 11 hours at work and commute (no handoff there) I was at 65%-70% when I got home. After 2 hours at home, working mainly on my Mac (very little on the phone itself), I was down to 50%. After 3 more hours (again, barely touching the phone), down to 7%. What is that???!!!

I am sorry, but this is a huge FAIL. This software "upgrade" has downgraded my battery life by 50% or so. It is unacceptable. Give me back iOS 11.3.x!

I have the same problems, I like iphone 6s like hardware, but I start to hate softwere : so what I need to keep with me all time power station? I start to used LG G5 its work one day and half. Android stay better like IOS . its shame developers from Apple. Sallary and price its big, but quality and results are cheap

So you basically had to make your device close to useless to save the battery. I did the same thing. I looked at all of the analyticis, competely reset it (to factory settings), turned everything off and the problem is still there.

The battery status on my iPad says it’s 100%. When I unplug it,it shuts down. It has to be plugged in to start. Apple told me to take it in.

I definitely hope this gets fixed.

2 days in a row now. Phone charged till 100% around noon, dies over night.

6s plus that used to have excellent battery life before.

I have the same issue. iPhone 6s updated 2 days ago.

During the night, standby mode, wifi closed, 3G/4G closed, all apps closed, my Iphone 7 battery (model A1778), loses 10% / hour

My Battery performance: 100% 😢
