You're not crazy, iOS 11 is killing your iPhone's battery (Apple Byte)

2017-09-28
what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple it's the follow-up after everything that dropped last week we'll get to the Apple watch Series three but first up the iPhone 8 and 8 plus now Apple just released an update to iOS 11 with eleven point 0.1 which fixes an exchange email server bug but the biggest issue battery life issues now a recent report says the latest version of iOS has already been installed on 25% of iOS devices and a lot of people are saying battery life is significant this latest update doesn't help that yet and yes it depends on your usage but even research firm Juan Dara analyzed the performance of 50,000 moderate to heavy users and found that it took roughly 96 minutes to drain a full battery in iOS 11 compared to 240 minutes in iOS 10 now I'm hearing the biggest complaints from people on the iPhone 6 or success results have been mixed and some people aren't seeing these same issues but is this happen to you and on what phone let us know in the comments alright in another issue Apple confirms they are working on a fix for iPhone 8 and 8 plus where some owners are hearing intermittent crackling noises when using them for phone calls the Cupertino kids say it will be included in an upcoming software update and IHS market did their annual teardown of the iPhone 8 and 8 plus to just find out how much do the newest iPhones cost after taking them apart the iPhone 8 plus is building materials came out to 288 dollars and eight cents now after manufacturing costs are factored in it was only seventeen dollars and 78 cents more than the seven plus which is actually pretty nice when you consider it has 32 gigs of storage more improved processor wireless charging and an improved camera now the iPhone 8 came in at 247 dot 51 cents that's nine dollars and 57 cents higher than last year's iPhone 7 and no this isn't to make you feel depressed about how much you're paying after all the overhead like marketing and packaging and shipping for the phone and then helping Apple build this new fancy-schmancy headquarters as well as paying for Eddy cues colorful keynote shirts alright Apple just dropped a new batch of developer betas for iOS 11.1 watch OS 4.1 TV 11.1 and mac OS ten point thirteen point one peter pierre payments or cloud integration with iMessage aren't in the iOS beta just yet but the watch OS beta brings the first look at music streaming with Apple music or your iCloud music library straight to the Apple watch now there's also a new radio app that gives you access to beats 1 radio or any Apple music radio station as well so developers they gonna play with that right now and Mac OS high sierra dropped this week and to be honest i haven't updated because knowing apple's updates i like to give it a few days now the majority of feedback is that it breathes new life to 2016 computers with its speed and I think the biggest feature I'm excited for is safaris ability to prevent me from getting hammered by autoplay videos at every site like I hate that but a day one exploit found by X NSA analyst Patrick Wartell shows how anyone could run malicious code to pilfer the passwords in your keychain to everything from your Facebook Twitter and yes even Bank of America account so it's pretty much everything that sounds fun but I don't want you to get too paranoid about this now Wardle hasn't revealed the full exploit code publicly but Apple is expected to patch the issue eventually as in hopefully like now all right let's talk Apple watch Series 3 there are plenty things that I like about it and things that can make it better I've been using it over the past week non-stop and will post my full review in a few days that's really more in depth that's what's out there because there are always things Apple just doesn't tell you about now I love it for working out it's really one of the best use cases that can make it special when you can still be connected to the world just in case anything happens it's just all on this wrist but the biggest issue I've discovered is with messages now Apple has never said anything about it and it's been confirmed by many users like you which led to an official confirmation from Apple to seen it the Apple watch Series 3 needs to be connected to an iPhone to send SMS messages to non iPhone users now if the phone is off and you have no connection and no Wi-Fi but just the watch connect to the LTE SMS messages will not work only iMessages you know what that matters and really to bury that and after several hours on tech support with AT&T and Apple tech reps who couldn't figure it out and then confirming it with other users to unearth that myself you know with that guess that's a bad apple oh but yes I still really like the Apple watch 33 LT it shines when it works but you'll get all those down low with my upcoming review and we'll dig into all of it alright in a good move developers like Sue's am are releasing standalone Apple watch apps that don't require a connection to the iPhone and work over LTE there's plenty like Twitter Instagram and others that still need the phone to work so hopefully that's just a matter of time for developers and check this out the most anticipated hypebeast phone right now you know what it is the iPhone 10 might be a whole lot harder to get than you think now according to multiple reports Apple is having significant yield problems with the 3d sensors used in the true depth camera module for the iPhone 10 you know all that good stuff tucked into that lovely looking notch now the low rate of production of these sensors is the bottleneck and reports say Apple is only getting out less than 10,000 units per day now the ten hasn't even reached mass production yet and estimates say 10 million phones we produced by the end of October with an estimate of 40 million by the end of this year now pre-ordered projections are targeting around 50 million units which means Apple may not be able to even fulfill all those pre-orders before early 2018 so for all of you that see me cry like a baby on Twitter when I lose out on getting a pair of Jordans or Yeezys or even the latest SNES classic you're all going to know exactly what that feels like alright so you might miss out on the iPhone 10 but I'm here to make you feel like a rock star thanks to our good friends at Belkin now since Apple was so nice took away our ability to listen to music and charge our headphones at the same time thanks Apple Belkin is hooking six of you up with their charged rockstar adapters now three have a 3.5 millimeter audio connector and a Lightning port for charging while three others that I have have a Lightning audio port and a Lightning charging port so these will work with the iPhone 7s eight and tens and many of you keep asking me what happened to the nine well did anyone tell you seven eight nine so so when all you have to do is identify the character on my shirt from last week's show tell me which rock star you want over or Twitter and I'll pick six of you randomly so you know what let's get ready to dum good and we really like to leave you all on a high note so here it is Thank You das bull on Twitter for this amazing the iPhone 10 all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can email us at the Apple bite at cnet.com or tweet me at Brian Kong thanks much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple
