Are other people finding battery life w/ 11.2 on 8 Plus to be pretty much sheet?
 
Nope. Not even slightly. I thought battery life on 11.1.2 was good, 11.2.0/11.2.1 is MUCH better.

I can easily get 10 hours I usage and 20 hours of standby on my 8Plus. And that’s heavy usage and screen pretty much always on for those 10 hours.

Interesting. My 8 Plus drains fast just sitting doing nothing, screen off.

I agree with that, pretty much hit the same usage/standby times.
 
I don't have a Plus but I've consistently getting killer battery life on 11.1+ with my iPhone 8. Significantly better than my iPhone 6s with 10.x. I haven't used my phone a ton today but I'm at 99% with 49 minutes of usage and 3.5 hours of standby. Most of that usage was Bluetooth audio which is pretty lightweight, granted, but on other days I'm seeing 4-5 hours of usage when I'm at 60%.
 
How does iOS 11.2.1 compare to iOS 11 on 8 plus? Improvement in both battery life and performance?
