Is iOS 11.4 Draining Your iPhone's Battery? You're Not Alone (zdnet.com)

Posted by msmash on from the stranger-things dept.

If you've noticed that the battery life on your iPhone is not what it used to be, it's likely that the problem isn't with your iPhone or some setting or app, but a bug in iOS 11.4. From a report: Apple's support forum has been blowing up with complaints from users that battery life has been seriously curtailed since installing iOS 11.4. The problems seems to be reasonably widespread and affects the iPhone line up across the board. I've seen this issue on the iPhones that I use. It seems to be accompanied by the device running unusually hot.

    It's probably her "Tinder" app. Ask her about it tonight.

    Couldn’t they just slow the phone down a bit so it doesn’t use as much battery power? This is a no-brainer.

    This is the 100th time Apple has released a patch that screwed up certain models. They're incompetent. I see a pattern here. They're going to keep doing it! BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND, YOU IDIOTS!

    While Android wisely avoids the problem by almost never having Updates at all...
