This issue has been annoying me since iOS 11, I had an SE used to be fantastic on iOS 10 maybe 2 days on a single charge, In the end I was getting 2 hours screen time on the latest iOS 12 and thats with a brand new battery so I decided to purchase an iPhone 7 plus this week mainly for the battery.

Only had it a couple of days, take yesterday for example, of the charger at 6am, 1pm I was at 50% thats with less than 1 hours screen time and main battery usage was Pocketcast in background and safari, It was flat by 8pm so didn't even last a full day with what I consider light use, My SE would be dead around 5-6pm so got a couple of extra hours but its still ****.

I did restore from SE backup when setting up, in saying that I don't have many apps installed as I recently set the SE up as a new phone to see if that would help battery drain and I was gradually adding apps 1 by one to see what the culprit was.

I'm all out of ideas folks.
 
Yeah that is unusual. Maybe erase the phone and set up as new. See if that changes anything. I just got a refurbed 7 plus from Apple today and it has had minimal battery drain. They have killer batteries.
