Although many are the users who affirm that the battery life with iOS 11 is practically the same that they could find with iOS 10, the number of users who affirm that the eleventh version of iOS is not that optimized as far as battery consumption is concerned.
Since its launch, many users say that the battery of their devices has dropped dramatically, reaching alarming levels never seen before. Shortly after releasing iOS 11.0, Apple released the first update, iOS 11.0.1, a minor update that focused on fixing Mail issues with Outlook.
A few days ago, Apple released another small update, an update that in theory should solve the battery problems of the iPhone 6 and 7 especially, although some users say that the iPhone 8 is not very fine at all. Apple has not recognized at any time that the battery of the devices is lasting less than normal, but I could have tried to fix the problem with the release of iOS 11.0.2. covertly.
The guys from iAppleBytes, has carried out a performance test in which they have used an iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and an iPhone 7, all of them charged to 100% battery and with version 11.0.1. After the test is complete, they have updated the devices to iOS 11.0.2 and have done the same test to see if the battery has improved or if, on the contrary, it is still one of the problems that are most pissing off users.
The tests have been carried out with the Geekbench application, an application that performs different processes, each one more complete than the previous one and that obviously results in the device's battery consumption. As we can see in the video, Apple has not fixed the battery problemsIn fact, it seems that on some devices the battery life is even less than with the previous version of iOS.
The problem that users are now is that a couple of days ago, Apple stopped signing iOS 10.3.3, so there is no way to go back to the latest version that Apple released of iOS and how good it was showing users. What is clear is that next year, many users will think twice when updating their devices to the new version of iOS until they check if the performance is adequate or not.
