Apple's latest iOS update for the newer iPhone generations has been causing a lot serious battery problems for users. People have since then taken to social media and Apple's official Support Communities forum to voice their complaints.
According to Forbes, a user claimed in the Apple's Support Communities forum that since updating to iOS 11.2.1, the device has been consuming a lot of battery power. Even without any applications running in the background, five percent is drained from the battery every two minutes, thereby draining the battery fully in less than an hour.
One user also claimed that the iPhone 6S he was using goes from 50 percent to zero in just five minutes. The user claimed his battery was replaced a year ago. Another iPhone 6S Plus user claimed that the battery goes down to 10 percent from 70 percent within just 30 minutes of usage.
In addition, a user claimed that after updating to iOS 11.2.1, the phone's battery power drops to 50 percent in just mere minutes after the device was fully charged.
This latest problem is not the first the Cupertino-based company has seen since they released the current iOS. Apple users have been experiencing a lot of problems ever since iOS 11 was released. This includes multi-tasking errors, disconnecting Wi-Fi connection, and as well as sudden and repeating device restarts.
So far, Apple has not made a statement regarding the latest matter. It is possible that the issues may be addressed in the next update, 11.2.2.
