Please god fix the 10.2.1 battery drain issue. Last night it was at 100%, no apps running and freshly restarted. Woke up with it 50%. Left my house and by the time i'd got to the station (5mins) was at 19%, by the time i'd walked onto the platform it was dead. Charged it upt when i got home to 100%, 45 mins later it's 5% and for some reaso not turned itself off yet. Battery Meter says nothing fancy, no app has used more than 10% in last 24 hours. I've basically dumped my 5S now and have switched to using my work Samsung S4 instead. If the issue is not fixed i'll ditch Apple when i get my new work Android phone and won't bother upgrading my own device. And i really dislike Android 
That's how annoying this issue is.

Mine's a 7 +, I use it for 90 minutes sat nav in the morning plus deezer streaming via Bluetooth, after that it's at around 85% for the rest of the day, same again on the way home with some phone calls and it's usually on 50% when I get in.

Goodness, I don't think I've heard of that many beta versions for a while, surely this has to be getting close to release.

There is a new file system in 10.3. So I think they are checking thoroughly before the general release But yes general release must be close now.

I've just looked it up, you are correct. Odd that they are doing that!

It seems to be a massive bug thats been affecting devices since a particular version of iOS 10. Mine was fine until i installed 10.2.1, and now the battery meter is completely non functional. Another example, was flying home a few days ago, phone said 65%, then it just dropped to 2% and turned off. Trying to turn it on just gave the icon to plug it in. Plugged it into my laptop and it immediately jumped back up to 65%. Unplugged it stright away and it was fine. Seems to me the software has som serious issues recording the actual battery life. I know 2 or 3 people at work with the exact same problem (although they all have iPhone 6 or 7s.)
