I am seeing the same issue with a 6SE after the 14.2 update. This looks suspicious like same tactic used 2 years ago by Apple. But hey let’s blame the consumers rather then fixing crap code designed to push us into a newer model. I recommend Apple upgrades this garbage. Test it on all models still covered under the life cycle. Frankly quit being such condescending jerks.
Meanwhile I AM IN the process of filing a FCC and FTC complaints. Maybe that will get your attention
