iOS 11 launched less than a week ago and, as expected, early adopters are in for some problems along the way. It turns out that many jumping on the new update are experiencing significant battery drain in comparison to the previous iOS 10 software, that has since been confirmed by a few studies.

Many flocked onto social media and Reddit to proclaim their woes over iOS 11, stating that their phone is dying significantly faster than usual. Even ?battery saver? mode can?t save them, as many are stating that their handset is left with less juice than it would have been previously without being on the energy saving mode.

?I would hold off at least until 11.1 comes out, I?ve been running GM for a couple of days and the device is slower and the battery got worse,? said Reddit user alanbaraban. ?For anyone else running 11.0 on an Iphone 6, I would suggest turning on Reduce Motion.?

Studies have since been conducted, one by enterprise mobile security firm Wandera, with the company finding tangible evidence that iOS has caused the performance hit.

When comparing 50,000 ?moderate to heavy iPhone and iPad users? on both the new and previous network, it was found that iOS 11 drained battery 60 percent faster then iOS 10, with devices lasting just 96 minutes compared with 240 minutes.

?In other words, the decay rate for iOS 10 is 0.006958 percent per second and for iOS 11 it?s 0.01739 percent per second,? says Wandera

Just part of apples planned obsolescence... Happens every time they release new hardware.

Hopefully it kills all the iPhones out there, including brand new ones. Let them all die! DIE DIE DIE YEAHHHHHHHHHHH

edit: and then maybe it will reach out and kill the Android phones too.

Pffft, I can't believe no one has figured out that this is a new "magical" feature that Apple has released. (SMH) What's wrong with you people!!!
