Battery consumption is a perennial problem in recent years in standard editions of the iPhone. However, the "Plus" versions and the iPhone X they are receiving good reviews when it comes to autonomy. However, there are always great victims.
Arrives iOS 11.3 in its official version, a time passes and the hope that the battery in devices with one or two years falls dramatically falls again. This is the story of iOS 11.3, a version that far from improving autonomy on devices toancient, the headstone almost incoherently.
Various users of platforms such as Forocoches, Reddit or the 9to5Mac forum have a unanimous speech regarding the behavior of the battery of iOS 11.3 in terminals such as the iPhone 6s or the iPhone 7 in its standard editions, although the Plus versions seem to be holding up the downpour a little better. Far beyond the psychosis that is generating the fact of knowing first-hand what is the percentage of battery wear that the device is offering us. The problem is that it is applications that in the past had not offered high consumption that are now causing the battery to drop quickly, although the general performance of the device has improved with iOS 11.3.
Better performance worse consumption, is the summary in the last days of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s. Meanwhile, apps like Spotify, Notes or Safari, which were generally proving to be quite battery friendly, are consuming excessively high consumption compared to previous editions. Although, the general performance of applications such as Notes and Safari has improved exponentially even taking the beta as a reference. The same thing happens with the evil that was already almost a classic in iOS 11, the "lag" of the keyboard. Everything indicates that Apple has sacrificed autonomy a bit to improve performance on older devices. Share your autonomy experience with us and especially if you see better performance with iOS 11.3
I have an iPhone 6 Plus. I am currently on iOS 11.2.6 The results are acceptable. Battery and apps, music etc. I have downloaded iOS 11.3 to my desktop to do a clean installation. But in view of this article and others that comment on updating iTunes to a version of
the features I usually use. I think I'm going to regret it.
The time has come not to update, for safety and to plant myself in the version that I currently have installed. I will continue to inform myself of everything that is written about the iOS 11.3 version and how it affects or benefits my team.
Hello, in my case, personally it has not been like that, the autonomy of my iphone 6s has improved with ios 11.3, I have noticed how the battery consumes less than before, in performance the phone is quite fluid, although there are applications that seem to cost them work, it is not something worrisome but in general lines, for a phone already two years old, the general operation is quite good.
Generally speaking, if my iPhone 6s continues to behave like this, there is no reason to change the phone or think about buying a more current model, I will continue with my device until it stops working as it is doing so far.
I would not think about it, I would update now, the improvement of the system and the performance is much more acceptable than with ios 11.2.6. Now everyone's decision is always respectable.
For my part, since I updated to 11.3 it has been a misfortune with the use that I have daily I had to recharge for 4 pm now I have to recharge at 10 am again for 2 pm and another time for 51/2 pm and recharge it takes much longer than before
iPhone 6s Plus with iOS 9.
Dodging all of this. If I already learned with iOS 7 and iPhone 4.
And I checked with iOS 8 and 4S.
I do not update. I happen to break my phone.
With Iphone6 with new battery, in ios 11.2.6 with one charge it made me full day, now with ios 11.3 I need 2 charges to do the same
In iphone 6 with iOS 11.3, when I installed it the battery did not last me at all, let alone if I opened the Facebook application the phone would get hot and the battery would drain completely in minutes. This was solved by closing all the multitasking applications, after this, the operation is more fluid and the battery behaves better than in iOS 11.2.6.
Wouldn't it be better if they signed iOS 10.3.3 and let the average user update if they want their iPhone? because the truth is that everyone was better on iOS 10. A big Apple blunder.
After several days of updating to 11.3 the battery deteriorated the first days, now the battery consumption has stabilized and is similar to the 11.2.5 version I had. The device's fluid improvements have improved a lot.
