Hi David, The battery draining problem is getting worse, so yesterday evening before going out I charged the phone as much as I could and timed the drainage. It dropped 35% in a 3 1/2 hour period of time. Hence, I will place my complaint to Apple accessibility. The phone was completely drained and dead as a doorknob when I just got up. Where can I find the background refresh to turn that off? I didn't totally turn off location services, but turned it off in apps that I didn't need to have it on. What else do I need to do to save on battery? Thanks.
