General iOS 11.1 Battery Life Poll
- Thread starter Yebubbleman
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
iPhone 7+ 128GB AT&T on 11.1.1
Has been factory reset (11.0)
11.1 was via iTunes
11.1.1 was OTA.
Looks like I have reached the improvement plateau for my device.
Battery 56%
Usage 03:19
Standby 06:10
I am routinely getting 6-7+ hours out of a full charge from my normal use. About 70% or so of what I was able to get on 10.3.3.
Just continue to hope that further updates will improve this.

My battery life in my iPhone 6 Plus was getting pretty bad on 10.x, and literally took a huge nosedive in 11.0. So much so that I initially went back to 10.x. The device *is* almost 4 years old, so I found this little program called Coconut Battery, and it told me that I was well over 600 charge cycles and that the battery only had the capacity of 38% of its original 2915mAh. So yeah it was hooped. Got a new factory battery installed for $50 and honestly I could not be happier with my almost 4 year old iPhone. Runs iOS 11 like a champ now. New battery made all the difference here.

That’s pretty bad, even on iOS 11. On my 7 Plus I used to get around 10 hours of usage on iOS 10. Around 9 hours on iOS 11. Here is a screenshot I took last night.
If you didn't update, chances are you would miss out on updates and improved functionality in your favorite apps. Already the best iOS devs are pushing iOS 11 only updates out. If you are not on iOS 11, you can only use the old versions of those apps.
Yeah but I would rather have 2 day battery life than a newer app.
That’s the frustrating part. Had great under 10 and not good under 11. So many are having poor performance while just as many or more are having the same decent life. Till then I will continue to tinker and try to see if I can find a major issue, hope future updates improve the lifespan, or wait until I find my next device.
I did not include the battery list as it represents the last 24 hours, not the use during the last charge.
They have intentionally destroyed the battery of the 7 Plus to get more money from battery replacements. I am getting exactly half of what the 8 Plus users get. 8 Plus users are easily getting 14 hours
Lmao. The latest update is comical the way it's ruined my 7 Plus battery. Take a look at this. 4 hrs 36 minutes of use and already dipping into the twenties. Thanks Apple for ruining everything I loved about a kickass phone. Send in more emojis in the next update. That's just what I need.

iOS11 has turned my SE into a complete embarrassment in every area.
Battery life is less than 5 hours & there's times, almost daily, where it lags/freezes for a solid minute.

Yeah I did.
Let's drop this excuse right now. We are just 2 betas away from the "perfect" 11.3 and I am not seeing anything close to perfection.
Now the only question is if iOS 12 will be to iOS 11 what iOS 10 was to iOS 9.
I have to admit, iOS 10 reduced my 6s’ battery life by 40 mins. I always set up my phones as new so it wasn’t a corrupt app. I had to buy an iPhone 7. The 7 lasted about as long as my 6s did on iOS 9.
However, iOS 11 reduced my 7 Plus’ battery life by about 1.5 hours. That’s a lot! 1.5 hours might not sound like a lot, but that’s about 15%. 15% is about 20 hours of standby time. So it’s the difference between making it home or getting stranded somewhere.
My iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 11 lasts as long as my 7 Plus did on iOS 10
coincidence?

coincidence?Yea but even worse. The last good os I had was 9 when I first got the SE
This isn't a coincidence. The SE performs and has the best battery life on iOS 9, the OS the phone shipped with. iPhone 7 Plus performs the best with zero delays anywhre on iOS 10 (the OS the phone shipped with) and has the same battery life as 8 Plus on iOS 10. Its obvious what Apple is doing here.
I was walking that user specifically recalling very similar posts being made by that user for a while in relation to iOS 10 as well.

Sounds like things got sorted out in iOS 10:
What have they told you in the bug report? If you haven't sent one:
https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/
Just click VIEW BUG REPORTER and enter your ID/password from Apple. Then complain about the battery. They'll ask you to create 2 logs and send the instructions. Do that and wait for a response.
But before that, try these two procedures:

Nope that was just a one time thing. The very next cycle it went right back to where it was lol

9 on the SE has been the best setup I've had yet other than my 5s on ios7 jailbreak. 10/11 has been the absolute worse, never used 8 though.
