You are making me jealous!!! I get 7 hours on moderate use and looking fearfully at the battery % while doing tasks.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 11 is another total Apple DISASTER

Haha... I used to think my Sony Xperia z3 was good, comfortable 2 days but it does seem that the 8Plus will beat it. Maybe it was a special version of the iPhone for people leaving Android ;-)
I used to get this battery life on iOS 10. iOS 11 has halved it. I am starting to hate these OS updates honestly. Whats worse is that with my 7 hour battery life I end up charging it at 3PM again and its wasting my battery health.
Get one of these. I don't have to plug in to the "wall" for a week and never worry and don't have to be a wall hugger at the airport when travelling. Went overseas on vacation for a week and never used the power brick.

there is a HUGE difference between Plus iPhones and the small ones.
With 10.3.3 i was always over 8 hours of usage and now i cannot even get 5.
very disappointed

Battery performance will certainly be in the back of my mind this time next year when I can trade in on the upgrade program.
Best release that I've seen so far. IOS 254 will have a lot of bugs and I'm going to skip that one.
You could write these threads years before the software is ever announced let alone released.

that's absurb (and, in the spirit of this thread, allow me to correct you): ios254 runs perfectly, it's ios253 that is a total APPLE DISASTER...
I have a couple of different Anker power packs and they're great. That one is a monster.

Lmao.

Lmao. This is the funniest thing I’ve read today. I have broken apps.
I dunno. My battery seems to be doing well.
I must not have broken apps. Lmao
The point is Apple markets their products as “it just works.” Then they should. They are an almost trillion dollar company with a ton of resources. Face it. We’ve become beta testers.
It’s a shame.
That’s why I’d rather wait every other year for an os update. Rushing to meet “September” month is just stupid.
I’d still be on ios10 if it wasn’t for me picking up an AW3

Thanks but my point was how iOS 11 is ruining batteries by resorting to all this. Batteries are being depreciated at twice the usual speed.

For some, not so much (or at all) for others. More or less in par with petty much any (in particular major) new version.
I can use my phone on a clean install without any apps and eliminate all other variables and yet battery life is the same.
It does because if a clean install phone is getting 7 hours it's the standard performance. I have already checked battery health in coconut battery.
Which, once again, does nothing to change the experience that others are having.
Whether or not that is actually the case, it still doesn't really change anything about what I said earlier.
So if 99 people are having issue and 1 guy doesnt you will still be able to say that.
