After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
might be time for a restore as NEW for me even though it probably won't help. Serious drainage for some reason, iP7+. Checked rogue apps, hard resets, reboots, cache, location services off, background app refresh off, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH stop the madness!!!!
Down 12% in 2 hours fully charged this morning; doing barely anything. ughhhhhh
Yep, you might as well start completely over. Put the device in DFU mode, then restore it via iTunes. iTunes will install a fresh full copy of the latest iOS version. After that, set it up as new and then go through each and every setting therein. Don’t forget to jot down your iTunes & App Store passcode as well as your Wi-Fi passcode beforehand.

“Indexing” is a load of old rubbish if you ask me.
Yet it’s something that’s very real.
I didn’t say such thing. I merely stated indexing is a real thing and battery life is very bad up to 48 hours (depending on your circumstances) after updating iOS.And I suppose my phone is still “indexing” two and a half weeks later to explain my awful, awful battery life?
I am sorry this is happening to you and except for advising you to restore as new, there is not much I can think of at the moment.I have done every trick in the book to improve it and nothing works. It drains twice as fast as iOS 10.
rubbish battery life comes from rubbish production and refinement of software. Period.
Let’s hope they fix it in iOS 11
While I'm not saying that iOS 11 doesn't have battery issues - I think that it does - read what I wrote above again. I said if somebody rebuilds his phone from scratch, he shouldn't decide that day or the next day that battery hasn't improved from that change. I didn't say anything about two weeks. I didn't say it would return to the same battery performance as iOS 10. I didn't even say that it would get better than it was after the in-place version upgrade. Still, rebuilding a phone from scratch (not restoring a backup) is one of those tricks in the book that you reference. If you did that already, I know I'm sorry to hear that it's still bad for you. If you haven't tried it yet, maybe that's your next step?And I suppose my phone is still “indexing” two and a half weeks later to explain my awful, awful battery life?

In addition to above, take screenshots of your home screens and the folders there in. That way it will be easier to arrange your home screen icons and folders the way it was before the restore.

I’m not in a rush to install it either, but I’m sure I will at some point.
