Ios10.1.1 on iPad Air 2

adonis10

So, this latest release has cut my battery life by about 33%, from 12 hours to 8. Unbelievable.

Anyone experienced similar? Any fixes? Please don't suggest the usual "turn off bakcgrround app refresh", "turn down brightness" etc., as I have obviously already done this. All of this stuff is as it has been since I got the device. And I don't think it is age becaause I was regularly getting 12 hours usage on ios8 and as soon as I upgraded 2 weeks ago I'm on 8-9 hours.

Because anyone with half a brain cell would, in the first instance, google "ios 10 battery life" and get hundreds of results which give the usual tips such as turn off background app refresh, turn down brightness etc.

Anyone else with similar issues?

I can't say I've noticed any difference in battery drain on our two iPad Pro since the 10.1.1 release.

I agree my IPad Air is flawless via ios10.11

No noticeable battery drain.

And my little white Anker keyboard has been charged once since past few months (not ipad charger)

I find it more difficult to find the time after work to charge IPad Air to full capacity Mon-Fri though enough charge with maybe 30mins once or twice a week then a full charge including tonight before weekend.

As this is my macbook replacement device for surfing/music/Sky Q t.v.

This is used 7 days or nights per weeek.

And I've recently added a Cannon Airprint printer to print direct over wifi via IPad Air and IPhone 6.

Love IPad Air going to run it for full 2 year contract then consider a newer IPad later.

Went slightly off topic, though certainly no battery drain ios10.11
