It was a good battery life on iOS 11.3.1 . From the day I’ve updated my device to iOS 11.4 is started to drain my battery. i could find many people with the new battery facing the same problem. So replacing a battery is not solution. Apple need a software update to fix this issu.

I’ve recently found a temporary fix until Apple address this issue. All u need to do is resetting network settings. Go to network settings under Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. After this you will need to add your Wifi networks again. This should solve the drain issues. Connect your device to 2.5ghz instead of 5ghz it’s will save the battery more

Hello Foracct,

Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems you are experiencing issues with battery life on your iPhone. To help resolve this issue, please follow steps from these resources, like optimizing settings and checking battery usage. Then restart your iPhone as iOS clears cached data and does other system optimizations when you turn your device off and on.

Hi again Foracct have you contacted Apple support about this issue I think the main reason that your battery is draining is because of how that big iPhone 6s battery draining issue that was a few months ago I think your phone was one of the effected phones I know some people with iPhone 6s that have that issue and some of them are getting new phones but you could go to the closest Apple store!
