Hello! I would like to ask about your battery life on 7+. I have mobile data, wifi and bluetooth (because of apple watch) turned on all the time and from 7:00 AM I lose 80% battery until 5 PM. Is it normal? Battery was recently replaced for new one. Battery health (capacity) 99%. Battery is original, replaced at apple authorized service. iOS 11.4.1. Usage 4h 30m, Standby 10h. Thank you for your answer. :)

Whoa dude, my 7+ lasts way longer than that. Usage so far (since last full charge the other day) is 3h 31m, standby 45h 12m, and I have 74% battery remaining. My phone stays charged for days still and I got it about a week after launch.

But do you have bluetooth, wifi and mobile data turned on?

Yes, and wifi assist, but I don't have an Apple watch. But how could that kill your battery in one day?

edit to add: I also have background app refresh on, but toggled it off for most apps that probably don't need it

These don’t actually kill battery as much, unless you live in a really poor cellular connection area. I have everything turned on as well and the battery life seems way better than that.

Check which app is using most of the battery, then uninstall it and see if that makes any difference.

Final recourse will be a fresh restore and setup as new.

Mine easily lasts me two full days on one charge. I have my 7+ connected to my cars bluetooth so I am using that for calls and playing back music every day for 7-8 hrs while I am working and it easily lasts me two days. I keep my WiFi turned off so I use data 24/7. I am also in T-Mobile with an excellent signal. Your carriers signal strength will affect your battery life.

I did this already, had no effect. As I am reading these answers, I think the best way is to send it for a warranty repair.
