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.

    This is a minor fix 11.3 => 11.4, and yet that battery drain issue is back from the dead, again? Either Apple has some main dev team problem (which it has in a way), or maybe the new fw (os) install reset some settings, like "backup app refresh" set to true for some apps which would cause that issue.

    Yeah, these recurrent yearly issues occur a couple months before the new iPhones are released. Coincidence of course.

    iOS 11.4 is draining my battery, and I have an iPhone 4. That's how bad iOS 11.4 is!
