iOS 8 another battery drainer

[I7guy]

Battery life is better on 5s than on 7.1.2. Right now I'm st 50% but standby reads almost 23 hours with 4 hours of usage.

And wifi lag is mostly gone.

Nothing could possibly drain a phone battery that quickly without starting a fire. That must be a calibration issue.

Not sure if it is but it never behaved like that when I was on iOS 7..it literally went from 55% to 16% when I opened up maps..I'll try a calibration

Is that an iphone 5 in the screenshot? My battery used to behave like that.

Yes,it's an iPhone 5

If that is the case then Apple should restrict newer software to newer hardware. We shouldn't need to buy a new iPhone every single year just to maintain decent, at best, battery life. That's extremely wasteful. Even though being wasteful is of no cocern to Apple fans who will throw an iPhone 5 in the trash for a 5S. Just another corporation with planned obsolescence in mind.

Apple products are great, but Apple is pure evil.

mine sucks since updating to 8.0.2..started at 100% then it went from 55% to 16% within a minute..
Wifi still cutting off on the iPad mini

That is a hardware (battery) issue. Apple is replacing certain batteries now and you should check to see if yours is covered.
