I am installing iOS 11.1 on my SE, and would like to ask if anyone else attempted to do so on the same model? If so, how would one compare the battery life now as opposed to iOS 11..0.3?
It was not as bad on 11.0.3, but when playing YouTube vids, it just ate it up very fast.

And just as a added note here, why is Apple concentrating on updating those silly emojis?
Why not concentrate on the things that actually matter like fixing the battery life or other important bug fixes.

My iPhone SE Verizon 16GB battery is horrible with 11.1. I was on beta 5 for a few days before today’s release, and it is the same as 11.0.3 (which is terrible compared to 10.3.3). On 10.3.3 I used to be able to use the phone for 4 hours before hitting 50%. Now, I if I can make it to 3 hrs with 50% I’m lucky.

I will not go back to 11.0.3 because battery was horrible on that also, and the bug fixes may be worth it. My only other thing to try is to make sure it isn’t an app and start fresh and re-install apps slowly.
