Anyone still experiencing extreme battery drain? Am still on the fence whether I should upgrade or not - and keep hearing reports that battery drain can be an issue. Any advice here is appreciated (hopefully latest iOS updates have resolved most of the issues!)

I ran 10.3.1 for a week before updating to 10.3.2 beta yesterday. No battery drain what so ever for me.

Been using the 7 Plus since October and updated on day one with every update. I get awesome battery life. I've never had any issues.

Been a day one updated to every beta since the 7 Plus release and haven't experienced any additional battery drain.

I haven't ever had any battery drain with the 7 Plus. In fact, I'm amazed by how long the battery lasts in this phone.

Im actually on the other side of this fence. Since 10.3 I have noticed a lot more battery drain then normal. Wiped device, set up as new. Giving it a few more days to settle and we will see.

Well, it's almost 11pm (Eastern) and my phone's at 44% and I've been on LTE most of the work day and been using it about as much as I do during a normal day, so for me (on 10.3.1) this is about normal. I'm not really seeing a "drain".

Re: iPhone 7 Plus battery drain

Battery life is great for me. I don't charge mine over night and I usually charge mine when I'm at work. Unplug it 11 am or 12 pm depending on when it's fully charged. Battery last me more than 2 days. So if I charge mine on Monday, then it gets me through Wednesday before charging. This is on 10.3.1 and no light usage.

I've had the phone since April and the only time I noticed any battery drain was using google app with google now and location services, since disabling the phones battery is exceptional

iPhone 7 Plus Battery Drain Means Battery exhaust instantly suppose your battery have 50% and after five minutes you will see your battery exhaust. So now you need to replace your battery.
