    Sadly, iOS is following Android now with its battery management issues. Much after Steve Jobs era. Every updates bound to have battery drains problems. Due to apps compatibility issues perhaps for every updates?

        I’ve this menace iOS 11.4 D’loaded on my SE & I grossly repent as it is eating up my good mobile power used to run whole day but now after 11.4 I’ve to do twice in a day in same hours of use . Will anybody in Apple Design Dept. do something? What another menace or boon will be this forthcoming iOS 12 ? Our iPhone & iPad’s. life hangs .

          iOS before: "It just works!"
          iOS now: "It just works (barely)!"

            Thanks for the information, stopped me from updating to 11.4
            Better wait for the next update and hope that the problem is resolved

                              Anonymous, 12 Jun 2018u must really hate apple with ur long reply. none of the b... moreI have never had any problems on android or on windows phone. I have had problems with built quality where screen have not working or something similar that is more of a hardware issue then software and then i have gone to take back my phone to the shop i bought it from. If people have issues on android, then it's usually a user issue where he have done something to it or downloaded something that have ruined it. There are dumb people all over the place and that does not mean that the issue is in Android. I remember one incident something 20 plus years ago when mobile phones come out and one guy went to shop every week to buy new phone cause he didnt know that he can charge hes phone when battery gets empty.

                              It's like the time when Iphone 4 come out with it's glass sandwich and it had reception issues and apple said that your holding the phone wrong way. Sorry but you ask over premium price so you cant have errors like these and justify by calling people dumb and dont know how to hold there phone in hand right way
