People are furious after discovering the latest iOS update dramatically drains your iPhone battery

As if we needed more battery issues with our precious cellphones!

Just one week after Apple agreed to replace the batteries on a small number of iPhone 6S devices that were prematurely losing battery, Apple has come under fire again.

Apple's latest iOS update, 10.1.1 promises, among other things, "stability improvements and bug fixes" however, a report by PCMag.com claims the update is unexpectedly draining iPhone batteries. 

Currently, there's an active discussion on Apple's own support site where customers are reporting iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S devices unable to last a full day without charging. Others are reporting iPhones dying with "30 to 50% charge left."

“After my iPhone 7 Plus upgraded to iOS 10.1.1 yesterday, I found the power consumption seems to became faster, the power endurance [lasts] half of the time as before,” one person wrote on an Apple forum.

Some users who have opted into Apple's open beta program report that version 10.1.1 (14B150) solves the problem, but others have said it didn't help and generally most iPhone users are not running beta software anyway.

Mashable suggests it could be tied to errant apps that drain batteries or over-heating of the phone’s battery.

At this stage, there has been no comment from Apple.
