Why and how do I fix the new issue with battery drain after updating to iOS 11.4? Before updating, might loose as much as 10% overnight on my 6s. After update it now drains completely from 100% over the course of the night to the point that it won’t start until I plug it in and let it charge a bit. iPad air2 drains much more as well, but not to the same extreme.
iPhone 6s, iOS 11.4
My iPhone 6S was loosing 30 - 40% overnight on standby after updating to 11.4. I tried virtuall all recommendations over a 4 day period. I finally gave up and rolled back to 11.3.1. Now only drains 0 to 1% overnight. Pretty clear apple needs to step up on this one.

Really WTH,,, after updating to 11.4.1 cannot solve.,. I try to keep in positive thingking, maybe my battery need to be replaced... but.. after replacing new battery, draining still happen.... and what i get after replacement is only battery usage per app shown after presviously missing....
BIG DISAPPOINTMENTS WHY STILL NO RESPOND FROM APPLE.
See this. Apple Beta Software Program
Understand that use of a public beta can result in your device becoming unusable, and I know what you are going to say next, so don't. Fact also, you cannot get any assistance here, or the public forum, since you will have signed an NDA to participate.
There have been posts about some users with iOS 11.4 experiencing battery issues, however no one I know has seen it. There is supposed to be a possible 11.4.1 being prepared to address this. Some users have said that turning off wi-fi, or at least using a 2.4Ghz connection instead of 5Ghz helps. I've not had problems with all of our devices here with my 5Ghz wi-fi, but your mileage may vary.
Yes, Apple stopped signing 11.3.1 a few days ago. They screwed a lot of people by not issuing a fix before stopping a restore path. I’m so glad I was able to go back to 11.3.1. My phone has been working great after the restore to 11.3.1. Just not sure what the future holds now...
Ah.. well that’s annoying, ever since I updated to iOS 11.4 about 2-3 days ago my battery has been draining significantly like it goes from 90% to 40% in the space of like 2-3 hours when not in use and was on airplane mode to avoid the battery going down and it’s driving bf me crazy to be honest, it’s a shame that they stopped allowing going back to iOS 11.3.1
Same problem here it’s draining super fast. I look at my phone after it’s sitting for a couple of minutes and it’s down 10-20%. I hope apple sees all the problems with the batteries and has a update fix soon or I may just change to the dreaded android which I hate but can’t use my phone this way
I have somehow fixed this problem, I force shut down my iPhone 7 holding the volume and sleep/wake Button which restarted it and now doesn’t seem to be draining as fast and seems to have returned to normal I assume.. so maybe any of you could try doing this ? Maybe ?
Same here. iPhone 6s. I changed my wifi connection to 2Gz from 5 Gz and that has stopped the need for continual charging every few hours. However, my sites load really, really slow--so not much of a fix. I had done a hard reset on my ipod touch 6th generation and that did not fix the problem, only caused more headaches.
Battery health is fine on all devices. I have not update my ipad and am not going to after this mess.
APPLE: TIME TO PUT OUT A FIX!!! EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. NEXT PHONE WILL NOT BE AN IPHONE.
All these “fixes” dont work, or only temporarily. I’ve tried every suggestion and then some. The only alleviation to this issue is to set your home WiFi to 2,4 GHz. Or wait for Apple to fix this in an update.
my 6s was having the severe battery drain after installing 11.4. Had to charge every 6 hrs with moderate use. blocking my home wifi to the 5g band helped a bunch, was back to near normal. I did a Network Settings reset and afterwards the 5g connection worked much better as far as near normal battery drain. 2 days ago i rejoined the Apple Beta iOS tester group to be able to download and install Public Beta 2 of iOS 11.4.1. Having run that for 1.5 days now, I can say my phone is back to normal. Yesterday i had 19 hours of standby and 3.75 hrs of usage and was still at 45% when i went to bed.
Beta firmware has its potential downfalls, so only choose this if understood. My phone is not a critical or business related device so was able to do this for my situation without fear.
Instead of us trying to find a fix on our own, how about Apple steps up to the plate and fixes the issue or allow us iPhone 6 users to go back to previous update!!!
Fixing it ourselves could royally mess up our phones.
Hello Apple, can you hear me now????
This battery drain problem also extends to my iPad Mini four. Maybe Apple will take the issue seriously when reminded that these devices are approved by the FAA and used as a paperless cockpit. What happens when the device can no longer perform the length of the flight? Apple has created a situation where the device no longer performs as they advertise.
Since updating to iOS 11.4 my IPhone 6 is switching off within a minute due to empty battery. Battery quality is 90% and was on 50% load before this happens. It happened on standby as well as during the start of an App or loading an pdf.
I have the same issue; my battery life has never been an issue. I usually wait to update to make sure there are no major issues, but I accidentally pushed 11.4 through and now I have serious battery issues. Used to only charge overnight; now I cannot get through half the day without my battery draining to 1%. Please fix this ASAP.
iOS 11.4 Battery Drain!
