iOS 12 Terrible battery life on iPhone SE

Ever since I updated to 12 (From iOS 10.3.3) the battery life on my SE is just terrible, it doesn't even get through the day without recharging. I charged the phone once every two days on iOS 10.3.3 with about 6-7 hours mixed usage time but now it's less than 4 the stand by time is bad too. I've already disabled all background services, location services, mail fetching and set the brightness below 40% but no joy, also I tried the "measure" app (which is cool btw) and the battery went down by about 10% within seconds after opening the app. The phone seems to be a bit snappier tho.

Anybody else?

iPhone SE, iOS 12, :/

Same here. Updated my iPhone SE 5 days ago from IOS 11 to IOS 12 and battery life is dreadful. 5 minutes Facebook or ordering at Amazon costs you 5%-points. 1 minute phone call the same.

Yep, it’s little bit better now.

4 days ?????? I'm lucky if I do 24h without charging; 1-2 hours using screen max.
