Apple recently released their new iOS 11.0.2 software update. The update was primarily a bug fix update, addressing several issues that users had reported with the previous versions. We already saw a test of it against iOS 11.0.1 for performance. Now we have another video, this one tests the battery life of iOS 11.0.2 vs iOS 11.0.1.
Battery Life Comparison
In the video below, both iOS 11.0.1 and iOS 11.0.2 are tested using Geekbench 3’s battery benchmark test. The tests are run on the iPhone 5S, the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6S, and the iPhone 7. This comprehensive test aims to provide a clear picture of how the new update affects battery performance across different iPhone models.
As we can see from the video, the iPhone 5S battery life was lower with the new release, the iPhone 6 was about the same, the iPhone 6S slightly lower, and the iPhone 7 slightly higher. This mixed result indicates that while some devices may see minor improvements or declines, the overall impact on battery life is not significant.
Details on iOS 11.0.2 Bug Fixes
The iOS 11.0.2 update addressed several key issues that were affecting users. One of the main fixes was for a problem where some users were experiencing crackling sounds during calls on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Additionally, the update fixed an issue where some photos could become hidden and another where attachments in S/MIME encrypted emails would not open.
These bug fixes were crucial for improving the user experience, especially for those who rely heavily on their devices for communication and media. However, it’s clear from the battery tests that these fixes did not translate into significant battery life improvements.
Looking Forward to iOS 11.1
So it looks like there are no major battery life improvements with the release of Apple’s iOS 11.0.2. The next major update that we are expecting for iOS is the new iOS 11.1, which is currently in beta testing. This upcoming update is anticipated to bring more substantial changes, including new features and potentially more significant performance and battery life enhancements.
iOS 11.1 is expected to include new emojis, improvements to the user interface, and additional bug fixes. There are also rumors that it may bring enhancements to the battery life, which would be a welcome change for many users who have been experiencing issues since the release of iOS 11.
As yet, there are no details on when iOS 11.1 will be released, but it is expected to be available in the coming weeks. Users are hopeful that this update will address some of the lingering issues and provide a more stable and efficient operating system.
In conclusion, while iOS 11.0.2 brings important bug fixes, it does not significantly impact battery life. Users looking for improvements in this area may need to wait for the release of iOS 11.1. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed reviews once the new version is available.
