AHHH-MAZING how you replicated that to a T with 2 different firmwares!!!

Looks like 11.2 beta 1 MIGHT (probably) be coming out next week.
Apple’s results are under the absolute best circumstances using very specific usage patterns. They don’t resemble real world usage for most people IMO.
Whether your results are good or not is really up to you, there are so many variables which affect battery life it’s really pointless to compare to others.
I used to obsess about battery life after my first iOS upgrade then I came to accept that with my usage pattern, cell coverage, house I live in etc. I’m rarely, if ever going to get more than 6 hours on a good day. I’m on a 6s now and this experience has been pretty consistent across 4 iPhones & 8 versions of iOS.
My recommendation to everyone is to determine what’s typical for YOUR phone and then if you need to, buy a battery case or a couple extra cables and enjoy the phone.
Wow yep sure does!
Well I can confirm as that it does. Tried it after seeing this post from @atlchamp and exact same behavior as the iOS 11 versions. <sigh>

Seems like some others can reproduce it. Surely if some can't see the issue while others can doesn't mean they it's not there simply because some can't see it, right?
Still getting trash battery life on 7 Plus. I have never seen such a bad release. Its possibly worse than iOS 9 and Windows Vista levels of bad.
Woah, steady on there....
Way better than any Beta before. Better than 11.01 easily.
Not for me. iOS 11 b5 is pretty, pretty good. Of course that calc bug makes this worse than iOS 8. /s
Overall 11.1. Still getting 7-8 hours on 7 Plus. Was getting 12 hours on iOS 10.
I had heard one of the earlier (1 or 2) betas has really bad battery but that it improved recently.
It’s frustrating, and I get sucked into being critical etc, but at the start of a new OS there are always growing pains. Hopefully they are overcome soon.
That is what you said last year about iOS 10. At least you are consistent! Have you taken a look at the new Pixel 2? Could be the answer to all you life changing woes.
Two more data points here.
On both iPhone 7 Plus and IPP 10.5, I’m having a pretty good experience with this latest 11.1 beta (except for the calculator bug, WTF Apple??!?!).
Better battery life and less glitchy than previous 11.1 betas and 11.0.x.
When 11.1 is officially released, I’m going to finally recommend to my non-techy parents and spouse to upgrade from iOS 10.

My iPhone 8 does this as well. I finally just removed the weather widget. Mine also stopped updating entirely at one point prior to removal.
Yeah same here on iP6s. Weather widget is still flaky. Updates totally once in a while, sometimes only the hourly section updates but not the rest. Half the time the temps between it and the weather app don't match. Also I get the flash/refresh like you describe when initially swiping over to the widget page.
