Battery issues since update?

[got556]

On the flip side, does it seem like it is taking longer to charge your device back up?
Never have timed it in the past, but both my 7+ and 12 Pro appear to take a good bit longer.
Might be perception ...

I think you're onto something. My wife said the same thing last night with her 7+ and I remembered reading your comment and noted to her that others felt the same way. I've done all of the "fixes" and mine and her batteries are still draining way too fast. I lost 20% in standby over night last night.

my SE has been running really well with the battery, but my sister-in-law's 6S seems to be going thru battery power really fast... definitely an issue, and not consistent with all devices...

My 6s and iPad Mini both have at least as good battery life as before. No problem at all with battery on 11.01

For me it seems to be loosing most when not in use. Even in power save mode.

Today I've been taking screenshots of my battery usage at various points in the day and I'm rarely using the phone.

After a 2 hour meal I lost over 20% for the phone sitting on a table and it showed an additional 1.5 hours of usage. But I never touched it from start to finish.

Everything is good on my 7 plus. Anyone check to see if they still have 32 bit apps on their phone? I checked mine and had 11, deleted them before I updated.

My final stats. 2.2 hours of WiFi browsing. Pretty bad on an ip7

Deleted response to old post.

No problems on my iOS devices. Battery life is unchanged vs. 10.3.3 (including the iPad Air 2 that I downgraded to 10.3.3 due to UI choppiness, not battery life).

I’ve narrowed it down to Location Services. I’ve turned all the system ones off, and my battery stayed at 100% after half an hour of playing music with screen off and unplugged. As soon as I launch an app that uses my location, the bottom drops out of the battery level.

I haven’t read through this long thread but I have to say I’m shocked at how badly the bettery life has been on my iPhone 7 since updating to iOS 11.

In the past year my iPhone’s battery has never dropped below 10% before day’s end (typically 9-11pm) but now I’m consistently (daily) depleting my battery by as early as 5 PM and my usage has remained absolutely the same. That’s a good 20%-30% drop in battery life for me.

I’ve checked and made sure that all 32bit apps have been removed and I have background app refresh disabled, location services are either never or only while using the app.

I’m seriously considering downgrading to iOS 10. This will be a first for me as I’ve never downgraded an iOS version on any previous iPhones.

or wait a little, and a point update should fix it...

iPhone 6.

Battery drains as if I was watching YouTube videos and fetching mail every 60 seconds during sleep mode/not in use.

Yeah I could do that although I’ve read that the window for downgrading to iOS 10 may be closing soon (?). I really don’t want to be stuck with this, I’d much rather be on iOS 10 with good battery life than this.

understood. & you can always come back to ios11 when the reports are good about the battery....

My IP7+ was having problem with the battery and the standby and usage time was the same and I had to charge 2 times a day. I couldn't stand it anymore and I decided to download the 11.0.1 IPSW to restore. I was on 11.1 beta 1 btw.

Initially, the shift restore won't work and it said my phone cannot be restored and it went to the screen showing the cable connected to ITunes logo. It was there until some time until it prompted to try upgrade instead if restore failed. I tried that and the phone got upgraded back to 11.0.1 finally. And I setup my phone as new and glad to report that battery is back to normal today. After a full charge yesterday at around 10pm, as of now 452pm, it is at 72%.

I still don't know what caused the problem initially but an update seems to have recovered it. Now, I've downloaded back the 11.1 beta 1 and thinking whether to press the Install button to get back to the beta.

I'm having the same issue on my iP7+
Really dreading to downgrade from 11.1 beta back to 11.0.1.. if anyone has a potential solution, please let me know

Horrific battery life on my iPod touch 6, iPhone 6s+, and iPhone 5c, all since the update. Laughably bad. My 6s+ used to last 1-2 days, since the update 3-4 hours. Nothing else changed.

Agreed, this premature release is an insult to users who pay for things to work out of the box.

Come on Apple you make the hardware and the software so there is no excuse for this bug ridden beta software being offered as ready for the average user!

Don’t all the 32-bit apps generate a warning these days?
I have been through all of my apps and am not finding any 32-bit ones ...

How do I check if I have 32bit apps?

I drained my 7+ to 1-2% and plugged it in overnight.
Was at 88% when I woke up in the morning. It has always charged to 100% overnight before.
Definitely taking longer.

Apple is collecting mass data and that takes some juice. The government wants to know what users of older phones are up too, and a few newer users as well. C'mon doesn't everybody know that Cook met with Trump? Welcome to the new world.

 

[brilliantthings]

My 6s battery life was very poor for a few days. Now on 11.0.1 it's at least as good as it was on 10.3.3. Possibly better.

I didn't get any warning notification, I checked before I updated. It warned me in there that those apps were incompatible with iOS 11 and could cause issues. I guess you could call that a warning

How do I check if I have 32bit apps?

Settings/general/about/applications.

I'm thinking this too. Yesterday I didn't really use my phone as a test and it just drained and drained. The battery usage showed lots of usage but nothing changed for individual apps. I've already done a full settings reset.

Today as a test I've turned off location services and background app refresh to see if that fixes it. If it does I will turn things on one by one.

Curiously in the location services it's showing that the "calibrating compass" is always active.

I just thought it was my apple watch always sucking the juice.
[doublepost=1506927196][/doublepost]Can everyone post their "system services" page in location services. Those having problems and those not. It's where I currently believe the problems exist.

I was in the iOS betas and unfortunately didn’t do this test with iOS 11 GM, but I did do a backup and restore from icloud prior to upgrading to the iOS 11.1 beta 1. Last night, my 7+ was charged to 100% prior to bed. I took it off the charger at 12am and when I got up at 6:30am, it was still at 100%. wifi, BT enabled and connected, verizon enabled. Background app refresh selectively enabled for about 10 apps, apple watch connected but on the charger.

No battery issues so far on my iPhone 8 Plus with ios11 bèta 1. Getting amazing usage times...
