iOS 9.3.2 battery vs 9.3.1 battery

That doesn't looks right. Regardless you have a 6 or 6s (judged from your screenshot resolution), 344mAh is no way near 30% battery.
If 344mAh = 29.6%, your battery only has 1162mAh, well below the 17xx-18xx range (for iPhone 6 or 6s). That means, it's not the apps problem, but the battery's (hardware) problem.
Also, iOS may not (and should not) report the actual battery %, because you should never ever fully discharge a Li battery. That may permanently kill the battery (unable to recharge again). So, I assume iOS will not report the actual %, but lets say leave the last 5-10% as ultimate protection. Once below that, the iPhone shut itself down. However, it may design to display 0% at that point (it's quite hard to explain to some users that why the battery still has 10% but you can't use the phone).
Of course, even though all the above is true. The system still should no report 344mAh as 1%. That's a bit too extreme. However, IMO, since a significant battery ware is shown in the apps. The accuracy on the battery % may also be affected.
Battery life seems fine but Safari seems to be a bigger drain than it used to be. Anyone notice Safari draining the battery more?
If you have a phone that's still within warranty, just go to an Apple store and demand a free replacement, as it's very likely it's not meeting the specifications that Apple market. I generally do this for every iPhone I've ever owned without issues. You just need to make a strong case and provide some screen shots of the battery settings over a good time period.
My 6S new was great. It would last 2 days with fairly heavy usage. Today, I'd be lucky to go a day without plugging the thing in.

Nice try!
I upgraded my iPad Air 2 to iOS 9.3.2 battery usage is up some. But worse I plugged in my iPhone 6plus to back it up and update apps. It decided to up date the iOS also. The battery life drop by a third.
I'm curious, with Safari using 1% and Phone app using 5% and your phone having 9.5 hrs of usage, what you used your iphone for?
But what's eating my battery life for God sake? Allo, I'm dead serious now. I think I let myself be tempted by the devil and I updated my 5s to 9.3.2 yesterday afternoon Friday. Nightmare nightmare. Please, explain to me the basics cause it looks like I'm dumb . Updated through iTunes after charging. When all was done, battery was still at 100%. Exactly two minutes later, down à 98, then 97 two minutes later and I wasn't doing anything but looking at the screen mesmerized. At 12:30 AM, battery was at 80%, around 1 hour usage. Let the 5s sit there until today Saturday at 1 PM. Checked on the baby, battery was at 50%, usage time 7 h 13 min and standoff at 20 h 40 min. Now at exactly 1: 23 PM, usage is at 7 h 28 min and battery is at 47%. I never used my 5s for such a long period of time. I'm the kind that uses it 80% of the time in its car with bluetooth. Almost every thing that would make the phone enjoyable is turned off (Siri, Safari search, etc)

I haven't read the entire thread, first few pages and last. I was in a panic about my iPad air 2 and 6+ battery.
Previous ios update, thought I was imaging things, my battery life was much shorter, and to top it off, couldn't understand why my Verizon data usage on my iPad was double what it's been for a year and a half, costing me a lot of money.
Latest update, my ipad was battery was draining even on the car charger. I use it 4-6 hours a day for maps and navigation, which of course uses a lot. However, I used to be able to go all day without plugging it into the charger. Since the new update, it's down to 40% in an hour, plugged in! Yesterday, after reading somewhere on page 1, someone turned off iCloud, so I did. Turned it off. Battery was back to normal today, forgot to plug it in until I noticed it was at about 85%, it charged up while in use to about 95%.
My iPhone doesn't get used much unless I'm travelling. Normally, charged it every 3-4 days. Had it plugged in last evening, it was 100% this morning, didn't use it all day until about 2pm, it was down to 16%. Remembered That I didn't turn off iCloud on the phone. I have now, for sure.
Further reading up, may not have to turn off iCloud, just "use cellular data" under iCloud drive. I'll try that tomorrow.
UPDATE: Having iCloud drive on at home on wifi with "use cellular data" off, doesn't eat up my data (cause I'm on wifi,) but the battery still drains rapidly unless it's plugged in. Took it off the charger to use it in another room, (just the calculator briefly, then just put it down.) Picked it back up about 20 min. later, and the battery had gone from 100% to 74%.
So, I'm turning iCloud off completely, unless someone has another fix that I haven't found yet.
(Just in case anyone is wondering, have unlimited data on my T-mo iPhone, but I've had my iPad on Verizon because 1 gig and $20/mo. has been fine, and in many areas I go thru, don't always have T-Mo coverage, where I might still get Verizon. I go thru a lot of rural, middle of nowhere places, and sometimes don't get coverage on either.)

I'm flabbergasted. Speechless. Gimme your tricks. If I do 3 hours of ver y light usage with my 5s, I'm happy. This battery thing makes me hate my iPhone. Makes me hate the experience rather.
Yes.
After about a week of owning it, I remember reading something about different processors, so I looked it up online and then downloaded the app and sure enough, yes I have that processor. Bought my wife a 6S about a week later from the same AT&T store and checked hers and she also has that chip and also gets excellent battery life, not as good as my 6S+, but still pretty good.
I have auto brightness on, I leave WiFi on all the time, 2 email accounts, play words with friends, text, web surf and VPN usage for work, check weather, take pictures and of course phone calls, all normal stuff.
I have had some people call BS, but I can assure you it is not, I just get excellent battery life. I charge my iPhone about every 2/2.5 days. Depending on usage, I can go about 10 to 11 hours of usage, the hotspot seems to be the determining factor of that.
I am pushing a little over 11 hours usage now and shortly after the screen shot it died, back on the charger.
Don't have details but under normal general daily use my 6S+ on 9.3.2 sits about 20-30% lower than it did prior to 9.3.2. The primary culprit appears to be Safari and Mail (background). My daily use patterns have not changed.
What's the device and what are the top usage apps?Mine on the newest update seems to be great. It's 9:30pm and it's been off the charger since 3am with a lot of usage.
