Latest ios update

[Den]

Once again Apple have made a balls of it.

Major problems being reported after latest update and as always I let my phones and iPads update.

When will I and Apple learn to wait.

iOS 11.4 has certainly had a detrimental effect on my iPhone SE's battery life. In fact it's pretty much destroyed it.

Prior to the update it rarely went below 85% after an overnight charge but since the update I can run the battery flat in a less than an hour using something like Google maps

Not seeing that on my old iPhone-7 but there was some issues with Google apps awhile back, youtube was running down the battery and causing phones to get warm, but Google patched that I believe. Does the SE show the battery health and if its throttling the CPU in the battery health in the battery section, Zap?

It seems the SE. 6 and 6S have been effected on 5GHz possibly, have you tried 2.4Ghz? (not sure what yours is connected to, Zap. I avoid single SSID and always seperate mine. It could also have something o do with fiormware updates to certain router chipsets as well. I guess 11.4.1 may solve this as that's in beta. I think I'll be updating my iPad iOS 12 comes out, both ipad and and then that will be my lot for a few years. I upgraded my iMac to a 27' 2017 1TB SSD 580 Pro with 16GB ram last year as I'm reaching the point where I have to look at how much more I can be bothered with all this going forward. I think Tablets will be my way forward soon not PC's or Macs and I cannot stand using the web on a phone. Its a grim experience and way to small and I dont want huge screens hence I may just buy a dumb Nokia phone with a good signal an battery and get a iPad only for actually using the web as my Air-2 is feeling old. I use my mobile for making calls anyway.

My battery reports 97% health Gary. What's odd is there appears to be no pattern to the phones affected. Some people claim that it's a Bluetooth issue whereas for me it seems to be linked to location services. Using Google/Apple Maps or a step count app will run the battery down from a full charge in well under an hour. I guess I should start messing around with Settings but I've heard there's an update on the way.

Could they be plugging Spectre bugs on the phones? Quietly of cause...

My phone (samsung) wasted 50% battery today "updating". :/
[edit]
Every app seems to have an update... which suggests some sort of codebase update?

Honestly this so annoys me.  They put out these updates which ruin people's phones, yet there nothing we can do about it afterwards, as they don't provide a means to roll back to the previous (working) version.  I had a similar thing with my HTC 10, which was totally bolloxed by Android, and they still haven't put out an update to fix the numerous issues, like notification tones not working properly, ringtone volume randomly reducing, and huge battery drain.

Location service settings things to turn off are Location based Apple Ads, Location based Suggestions, share my location if you don't use it, and make sure apps are not using your location all the time. I would look in the battery usage and see whats hogging data maybe. !!.4.1 is in beta so that may address soem things. My iPhone 7 is at 93% Health after almost two years and I can use maps etc and its fine, the only thing that eats battery is face time, but that always has. If you router has a Qualcomm SoC there were driver updates recently that seem to have had a negative effect on phones of any OS on the 5Ghz bad because the transmit power over that Frequency has been played around with too. I am awaiting the Uk release of the  a Nokia banana 8810 4G https://www.nokia.com/en_gb/phones/nokia-8110-4g  coming soon,600 hours standby on 3G and 11 hours talk time. I think that will do me and I'll stick to my cellular iPad when I want to go online.

I've turned off quite a lot of things but it's still draining. I've also found it's still under warranty so I'm taking it back to the shop and see what they have to say about it. Thanks for the suggestions though
