I’ve had my 8 plus only a few days and the battery life is horrible. Pulled it off the charger around 9am and near dead by 1pm. Anyone else have this problem? Thoughts on helping it? Thank you!
 
Unless you are playing heavyweight games on the phone that whole time, it shouldn't be dead by 1pm.

Report it to Apple or your carrier, whichever you bought it from. Sounds defective.

Definitely no games. Just social media and emails and all that to take care of business things. Was really hoping maybe i wasn’t the only one or it was an iOS issue or something.

Have you tried a hard reset? It may be a process running in the background that’s got stuck.
