i updated my iphone 7+ to ios 14.2 and now i have battery drain problem and it takes long time to be charged and warmup during charging
Battery drain in ios 14.2
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max with this issue. I believe I have narrowed it down to an issue with Podcasts. Go to Settings => Battery and then scroll down to Battery usage by app. At least for me, there is an insane amount of drain from Podcasts. I see they really revamped the Podcast app as well. AND, the phone gets really hot when I listen to podcasts which I do every night. If there are some Apple folks reading this, I didn't change any of my podcast settings at all and this started right after updating to iOS 14.2. Previously, using the Podcast app hardly drained the battery at all & the phone never heated up. We need a fix soon, please! PS I am going to try adjusting from factory settings for the Podcast app. I am testing not downloading any podcasts (a terrible long term solution!) as well as turning off sync podcasts. Not sure yet if this will help. - I just adding COVID contact tracing today. So that is definitely not my issue.
I have similar problem with my iPhone 11 Pro, 100% my battery discharge to 60% when I watch 20 min video.
My iPhone 11 Pro, 100% my battery discharge to 60% when I watch 20 min video, also discharge alone for example at 7:00 a.m it full charge to 11:00am discharge to 70% average with nothing use.
We have the same problem with our iPhone SE! It started to behave very erratically after the iOS 14.2 update! It went from 100% to 3% over the period of 8 hours without ANY phone calls, text, or use of any apps! In other words, the phone drains the battery without user-initiated activities. Could there be hidden apps running in the background without the user's knowledge?
Apple Support led us on a wild goose chase without telling us that the problem was with the update itself! After several useless conversations with Apple Support, I had to download and install a fresh OS, which wiped out everything on our phone. The tech support guy at the store told us NOT to restore the backup files, which we created prior to the OS re-installation, which was what Apple Support told us to do! Even after the OS refresh, the phone still has the battery drainage issue. A diagnostic results were good: nothing failed! But Apple Support guessed "it could be hardware problem" and wanted me to send in the phone for repair. Since its warranty has expired, it would be a waste of my money!
Will Apple address the problem and fix it soon? Apple has left us with a very very bad taste in the mouth now. We're going to dump our iPhone (and all Apple products) and get an Android phone.

I really hope apple addresses the battery drain issue SOON. There is such lack of transparency and communication from apple regarding this issue. I have to keep my iPhone SE 1st Gen plugged in all day. I have turned off and stored away my 8 Plus because I just cannot bear to see how apple has made it virtually useless. Both phones were working just fine until ios 14.1, but with ios 14.2 the battery drain is shocking, it drains so rapidly. I only use my phones for calls, emails and texts. I'm not streaming or gaming. I was going to buy the airpods Pro, but now I have canceled my plans. I just bought a cheap Samsung phone that works just fine, and stays charged all day, because I had so much anxiety leaving home with my iphone and not being able to charge it when I'm away from home. Apple please allow us to at least somehow go back one step to ios 14.1
iPhone 8 running iOS 14.2 and terrible battery drain.
100% down to 85% within minutes of browsing whilst connected to my
home Wi-fi.
I would previously get near 2 days of usage out of a full charge but now I’m getting barely 10 hours.
Exact same issue since 14.2 on my partners gen 1 SE which I sent away to Apple who fitted a new battery 3 months back and had been working fine.

Updated yesterday to 14.2 - Suddenly my iPhone7 is useless. Great Job. Constant restarts no matter if unplugged or plugged. Battery shows 10% at random restart and is suddenly 98% after restart again. Rinse and repeat...
I've an iPhone 6s with similar fast battery drain issues after 14.2 as others are reporting.
The problem seems to be fixed after I recalibrated the battery percentage reading by draining the battery until it reached 0% and the phone turned itself off. I then charged phone to 100% and repeated the full battery drain. After it was then charged to 100%, battery usage percentages appear to be back to normal.

Same issue with my iPhone 6s since I upgraded to iOS 14.2. Battery drains so fast that I have to constantly recharge the phone throughout the day. 100% at 6 a.m. 28% at 8:30 a.m. and I wasn’t on my phone more than half an hour. This is ridiculous.
When is the class action lawsuit? That’s the only thing that will get Apples attention.
Me too, iPhone 10smax. Updated and battery won’t last a half day. I just took it off a USB-C charger with fast charging ability where it has been for 5 hours and the battery is showing less than 50% charged.
I have the same phone iPhone 7 Plus 100% battery health... updated to iOS 14.2 and it drained EVERY hour for 4 percent with no account logged in or no wifi connected.
You might think that is not much but imagine putting your phone after sleeping at 11pm at 100%. The next morning you wake up to 72%. THAT is definitely a DRAIN....
I have another iPhone SE 1stGen thats updated to 14.2 that one has no issue at all... 100% at night and overnight it only dropped to 95% LOL

Same on iPhone XR, after 14.2 the device is basically unusable in a professional context. I bought it only a year ago. First time I've thought about switching to Android in 10 years. Fix it, Apple, now.
I noticed poor battery life as soon as I updated to iOS14 on my iPhone SE2. I quickly discovered that turning bluetooth off completely fixed the issue. It appears that bluetooth is doing something massively draining in the background even with no connections and Covid settings turned off.
I've been on the phone with Apple Support many times now and apparently they've escalated my finding to engineering. Hopefully there's a fix soon. Maybe 14.3? Updating right now.

Same problem on two iPhone X we noticed after upgrading to 14.2
