Not sure what the magic settings are... but I have mail to fetch every hour, no iCloud push, Apple Watch paired all day, no background refresh, auto brightness on and turned maybe 5% down, low power mode off, Siri suggestions off, reduce motion on....
It had me thinking that iOS 11 uses more battery because of Siri doing all the background stuff. I wonder if I would be one of the people who don't get any battery hit because I would turn Siri suggestions off and hopefully it wouldn't be constantly logging my safari traffic?

Thats part of the phone app issues. Several solutions available in previous posts. Airplane mode toggle, reset all settings, or erase all content and restore a backup. Personally I was only able to solve it doing reset all settings as airplane mode didn’t fix it for me.
The 8 Plus has a 140MAH smaller battery than the 7 Plus and battery health apps show I have only lost like 50mah on my 7 Plus over the last year so my 7 Plus still has a bigger battery. Even if the A11 is a more efficient chip the 7 Plus shouldn't last like 4-5 hours lesser than the 8 Plus.

Now THIS is the battery life I am talking about. I can't get this battery life no matter what I do on iOS 11 and I am on a 7 Pljs. People should look at this screenshot before calling me names. 40 hours idle and 10 hours usage. The 7 Plus has a much bigger battery than the 7 so based on this screenshot I should easily get 11 hours of use and you won't find a single 7 Plus user on iOS 11 getting that.
When I say iOS 11 is a horrible release this is the proof for it.

You have lost 2 hours of battery life permanently on iOS 11 which is equivalent to 20% and yet you keep trying to justify it saying iOS 10 had it too in earlier versions and yet we are nearing 11.3 which should be perfect.

I have turned off everything including Mail app. It doesn't help the slightest. If you are on LTE and browse the web for an hour or phone or watch a video, the phone heats up and if the battery % is below 50 it drops 1% a minute. Wifi is tolerable but the drain on LTE is horrible. I actually didn't realise it was heating up until I saw a video where the guy pointed it out and when I removed it from my case and used it I could feel it as wel.
If you value battery life, do not upgrade. I have kept my iPad Pro on iOS 10 and I absolutely love the 2-3 days battery life. Besides for iPhones there is nothing new in iOS 11 except a new design and some iMessage tweaks. Just not worth sacrificing 2 hours of battery life for it.

This lets you make calls on your other devices (iPad, Mac) when they are signed into your iCloud and on WiFi. Any paired watch will always be able to make/receive calls. I think it's been there from at least iOS 10.
Pretty much the same here, without a watch connection.

And many people with iPhone 7 haven't had that type of battery life even in iOS 10. It's not that typical.
On average I've "lost" about 1 hour of usage. In the early days of iOS 10 and most new major versions really battery life was also worse to a degree. However most of my iOS 10 and other comparisons and comments have had to do more with bugs/glitches/issues and not as much about battery life. iOS 11.2 isn't even out, and while we are nearing that, we are certainly not nearing 11.3 at this time. Not sure why words need to be twisted and hyperbole needs to be brought into it all, as usual.

Apple disabled writing reviews when one is running beta software. This is to prevent one from torching an app when the issue might be caused by the changes to iOS and not due to the app or its functionality.
This has been so since at least the iOS 10 beta cycle.
Hello. I am using iOS 11.1.2
There is a bug like ;
you can feel safe if you want to test or try to replicate it on your own device. Here’s the series of unfortunate events… Basically, the user will open their “Contacts” app and find the name of the person they want to message. Then, they will tap on that user to open up their full contact card. iOS gives you the option to tap one of several icons depending on whether you want to send a text message or make a call. If you tap message it should take you to a new screen where you can write and send the text. This has always been the case. Instead, this bug sends the user to their main messages screen with their existing conversations. Not exactly helpful if you wanted to, you know, actually send a message to the person who you were trying to send a message to in the first place.But it cannot goes to message screen directly to contacts messages screen. But if you try secondly it works normally.
