I'm not seeing the battery drain on an iPhone 6 128gb or an iPad Air 2 both on 9.3. Just all the other stuff - which is quite enough. So maybe the cause of that is unrelated?
Got a tip for us?

I also had what he said, after safari crashes and I don't restart my phone my battery usage will start rising equally with standby and will drain pretty fast.
But yes, I hate the -gate theme for every single Apple (and others) problem.

Usually the other -gate are not very reale (like the bendgate), but this time I think is the big and most important bug of iOS ever, because there a lot of users affected without doing nothing and because it not bricks the iPhone or make it not usabile at all. It's a very tremendous bug, I can image how many -not power use- people around the world have this bug and they simply are saying "Damn, I payed xxx$ and I can't read my mails? Why? No errors, no Apple fix and restoring not work..."
The only other very similar bug was the DNS bug in safari search some months ago, but Apple fixes few hours after and they said something on the bug.
This time we don't have any official words since the beginning and still no fix...but the iDevices are still usable, sometimes and somewhere, in some links, in some apps...I think a lot of people are going crazy!
Edit: maybe the fix will be out at the end of the day ("Cupertino time" 😀 ).
anything is possible. the iOS 9.3 re-release for iPad 2 came out later in the day.

My guess is that this will be fixed by Thursday (new iPad Pro 9.7 and iPhone SE) launch. Apple surely wouldn't want newest products with newest iOS shipped with bugs like this
Doesn't make it any type of "gate" as nonsensical as that is anyway.
And it seems like you missed Apple's statement about it.

An unscheduled fix for issues like this can come out later than usual time as well.
It wont get shipped with the bug(well technically yes, since all ios 9 devices have the flaw) but you will be able to use the phone perfectly until you download the apps that trigger it. Its not like it will be released with links not working.
With a known fix coming. I'd make a backup in iTunes, archive it. make another to be safe. Restore phone to new and use it as new until the patch is released. then Restore to the updated iOS (9.3.1?) then restore from my backup to get all my apps and data back like i want it. that'll atleast get affected devices working again until patch comes out.

When you archive a backup , where does it go ? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just found out with your post that this was possible ;-)
Just got App updates for Wikipedia Mobile and Eat 24 the specifically call out this issue. They say they worked with apple and everything should be working now. I updated. Safari still crashes. I'll try a restart. Any chance App updates fixes this? I assume we need an Apple update.

My iPad was fine 26 night, I went to sleep, woke up, opened mail and boom, the linksgate..I think is "nothing". A lot of people are in the same situation. That doesn't mean the iPad was doing nothing 🙂 surely Apple pushed something in background during the night or an app update etc.. I mean "nothing" for "nothing wrong", I haven't installed a malaware or visited weird sites, installed app from the web etc.. nothing apart the normal use!
Wait, wasn't Booking.com the only and absolute only app with the bug? 😀 (just kidding obviously, I've always said the problem is not only the Booking app) I think a lot of very expert guide should now mention: unistall Wikipedia, Eat 24, Booking (and a lot of new apps that are using the deep/universal linking, in the next hours 😀 ), put your iPhone in airplane mode, put your airplane mode in landing mode, put your luggage out the iPhone, reset your iPhone exactly at the midnight, make three steps, do a hop, use a new lightning cable, and after.... wait for the Apple internal fix 😀
Anyway the Wikipedia changelog claims that "you can choose to have links to wikipedia open in wikipedia" but I've never seen that option! That would be a great option, maybe is coming with the fix for this deeplinking bug?
EDIT: I ordered a new iPad Air 2 (I was waiting for the Pro but I hate it) nothing important, but Apple sent me an email, I tapped on the link and..it works! But instead open Safari it obviously it opens App Store on my iPad (with linksgate, every tap on every other links make Mail crashes). This deep linking feature and bug is really no sense. Probably the certificate/links wih the apps signed by Apple (like Apple store) are working. This is getting weird...

Well... I do suffer from this stupid bug.
Both on my Iphone 6s and my Ipad... Safari simply freezes whenever I click on a link. Same in any other application which has a link.
On my girlfriend's Ipad and Iphone everything works fine...

I'm furious about this update, the links don't work and now my battery life is worse than ever! I'll downgrade it
