Hey all I have the iPhone 7 on iOS 11.2 just want to know how much battery time do you get if you are watching YouTube from 100-0%? Please post your results.

I am yet to test it all but I have done some testing:

I am experiencing about 20% battery drain for 1 hour of YouTube via WiFi and screen brightness really low about 1/4.

Given that YouTube has been causing battery issues for some recently and has been tweaking some things related to battery usage in some updates, would that really be a good app to use to do some battery "testing"/comparisons with?
 
Are you doing a general battery test, or battery test specific for YouTube?

The main test is just YouTube from full battery to finish since I have not seen anyone do a test on how many hours they can get.

Also, I check my battery unrelated to above. It says Safari @ 90% @ 2.5 hours. Is there something wrong about this?

So, you're at 90% with safari usage time at 2.5 hours?

Yes that is not normal right? I am starting to notice fast battery drain by the end of the day. Never used to be this bad on previous version. Who else is experiencing this on iOS 11.2 with poor battery drain? I assume there is no fix for this right and have to wait for the next update which might even be more worse. Sigh and does anyone know when next update is due? How can I inform Apple about this?

I'm on 10.3.3 with iPhone 7, and the best safari usage I've gotten is 10% an hour... probably.

2.5 hours for 10% seems good.
