iOS 11.4 substantially reduces the battery life of some phones iPhone, according to a growing number of complaints registered on Apple's discussion forums. Customers complain about the fact that after installing iOS 11.4 on the iPhone, the battery life has decreased so much that they have to charge their phones once every few hours.
iOS 11.4 also affects the battery autonomy of some iPad tablets, and those who complain add to the discussion a variety of reasons why this problem would have appeared.

iOS 11.4 Seriously REDUCES the battery life of some iPhones
iOS 11.4 is not exactly the best version of iOS in terms of battery life, but I can say that I haven't encountered such big problems while using it. It is true that iOS 11.4 has a much worse autonomy than the first versions of iOS 11, but apart from some beta versions of iOS 11.3, nothing consumed the battery autonomy very quickly.
"My iPhone 6 was working perfectly fine until I updated to iOS 11.4 and ever since I did that my battery is draining rapidly even without me using it at all. When I look at my battery performance, it shows that the personal hotspot on my phone is being used, although I have never turned it on. It was fine before the update. And my battery health is at 90% yet I just watched my battery % drop from 50% to 20% in a matter of minutes while not using it.”
iOS 11.4 is currently the public version of the iOS 11 operating system, but Apple is also currently testing iOS 11.4.1, which may have problems resolved. To be completely honest, in iOS 12 the battery autonomy seems to be better on the iPhone than in the case of iOS 11.4, but here everything varies from one person to another, considering that we all use our phones differently.
