iOS 11 - who's upgrading?

Well a bit of warning would have prevented me installing the update. The shonky chinese apps are to interface with hardware installed at customers sites that i need to support. My iphone is a business tool that i rely on to earn a living and now without any option to rollback it is useless.
Suggest that if it’s a business tool that you take the update process a bit more seriously, do some research and even testing if possible, like most businesses do for any upgrades or patches. No point blaming others, especially Apple.OldGermanHeaps said:
I read the release notes, but it wasn’t clear. I’m damned either way if i dont updatethen when my customers do i end up with support calls for issues I cant replicate. A warning would be the least I would expect when removing significant functionality.
If you were using any of those apps on iOS 10, you got a warning on opening them that they could slow down your iPhone and would have to be updated to work with future editions of iOS.K12beano said:
Not particularly noticed higher battery drain yet (6s+)
...but, of course, check your settings. Your Bluetooth will be on by default.
I took the opportunity to review things like Location Services and made sure there isn’t anything around having too heavy a drain.....
6S here and battery drain is noticeable. Bluetooth off, checked location settings and looked to see where battery is being used but nothing I can see....but, of course, check your settings. Your Bluetooth will be on by default.

The phone is clearly doing something as when I unlock it, the rotating wheel is next to the WiFi symbol and I’m not running anything anywhere.

Sometimes you need to do a complete reset of the phone and restore from backup. It's a pain, but it's sorted out battery issues previously ok iOSThe phone is clearly doing something as when I unlock it, the rotating wheel is next to the WiFi symbol and I’m not running anything anywhere.
I don't think this is iOS 11 related, but who knows...
On my 6S+ yesterday, the battery went from 100% to about 70% in the space of 3 hours where it was mostly unused. Then it dropped to around 20% within 4 hours, then by the end of the day it was sat on 1%. It stayed on 1% - not turning off - for at least 4 more hours. In the end I plopped it next to my bed playing a podcast while I slept and it did the honourable thing and switched itself off sometime in the middle of the night, showing the "need charge" animation if I try and turn it on.
I'm guessing my battery needs some kind of calibration (I thought that was a myth with these batteries?). Is there a defacto way to do this properly?
