My iPhoneX shows battery at 60% after 110 minutes of screen time!!! This is terrible. It used to last a lot longer prior to upgrade to iOS 12. On iOS11 it used to show 85-90% after nearly 90 minutes.
Anybody else having similar issues? My battery max capacity is only 96% as per health monitor.
I had a similar issue until a couple days ago. My battery health (iPhone 6s) was at 97% but I could see the percentage drop in front of my eyes; sometimes as much as 15% in 2 minutes. And this wasn't under any heavy use but while scrolling through Settings app etc. Other times it'd drop 10-20% at a time while watching any videos in Safari. Battery recalibrating didn't help much and it'd still shutdown before it reached 1%.
I finally had the battery replaced and all seems fine now. Now I'm at 60% after 16 hrs with almost 20 hrs of videos in Safari, a few FaceTime calls and some texts/emails. Normally I'd have to have it plugged in by now. I can't say for sure if this has started with iOS 12 but it sure is remarkably prevalent on iOS 12.0.1. Before I got the battery replaced, I thought the issue has to do with how they (instantly) raise the CPU clocking in iOS 12 and that it must not have been optimized for older devices. But now my theory is that iOS, for some inexplicable reason, is unable to manage the voltage in the installed batteries.
And before anyone gives me all the "set up as new" nonsense, I already did that and my settings are pretty battery conservative with Background App Refresh OFF and Location Services only to While Using etc.
If that happened to me, I would learn what app(s) is/are consuming most of the battery at Settings > Battery.
We cannot blame apps. Only Notes app used for 15 minutes and a total of 22 minutes screen time - battery now shows 80%
I wonder why Apple does not try to do good on iPhoneX, the most expensive! This is terrible!
I’m having the same issue! My iPhone X with 100% battery health, on iOS 12.0.1 is getting terrible battery! I’ve been using it for 2h 21m and am only at 57% battery! This is awful! On iOS 11.4.1 I’d get 7-8 hours of usage out of my device! Apple NEEDS to fix this! Anyone else having the same issues?

Hello Apple ,
After your last update my battery from my iPhone X are more worse,I suppose to fix immediately this serious problem,I’m disappointment really I was waiting to getting better my phone battery but the batteries are more pure:(!
iPhone 8 here. Updated to 12.0.1 one day ago. Went to sleep with nearly 70% battery. Woke up to a dead battery 5 hours later. No active apps.
Anybody have a solution to this?
Today, my iPhone X (iOS 12.0.1) is at 60% battery after only 57 minutes of screen time. I hope Apple will do something to address the issue.
I meant 20 minutes of video.
iPhone X battery and iOS 12.0.1
