Battery drain in ios 14.2

I agree! Since I updated my SE 2020, the battery barely lasts one day. I was talking on the phone Monday for almost 2 hours and the battery dropped from 80% down to almost 40%. I wouldn't think talking on the phone would cause the battery to drop that fast.

Same issue with 11 Pro , 11 , XR , XS Max , and 6s i have for me and family

I have done a clean install of ipsw to my iPhone 11 Pro through iTunes (which has 100% battery health) and also I did the same procedureto my iPad 6th. I didn’t press restore from back up so I chose set up as new. I only opened iCloud switches in order to get back my photos which cost me to loose my calls but I don’t mind. Weeks have passed and I figured out that I have battery drain in both devices. I thought that it could be a normal behaviour in order to complete the index procedure. But now I am in the third week and I my battery doesn’t last. I have 0 widget in my homescreen in both device. I think iOS 14.1 was performing better in battery. It was pretty solid and I used to charge my iPhone once every 48 hours and now I charge it once every 24 hours. I have Bluetooth off and I have 3G opened and closed 4g. I wish I had the same battery as in iOS 14.1.

I have the iphone 6s. After the update of 14.2 my battery would show fully charged. Within minutes of unplugging my phone from the charger and just reading my emails the battery would drop down to 60% within minutes. I’m saying to myself did my charger not work, so I go out and purchase a new charger. I go out of town that day and I’m using the waze app trying to find my destination. My phone with my new charger is plugged into my car cigarette lighter. When I get to one of my destinations after an hour and thirty minutes I unplug my phone instead of the battery charging the battery has decreased. I’m like how strange because this is a brand new charger. All of a sudden at 30% the phone just shuts off completely. Luckily I find an old charger in my car that I’m having to continue to plug in an out to get enough charge on the phone so it would come on. I’ve had to close all the open windows on my phone thinking this would help keep the battery charged. I’m deleting old pictures, decreasing screen sizes, lowering light content trying to get my phone battery life to stay charged longer than a few minutes. I refuse to purchase a new phone because the battery want stay charged due to a flaw caused by a software update.

I had the same problem with a new iphone 7. (1 month old !!! )

I send it back to repair and all repair did was to revert to ios 14.1
my conclusion is that there IS a problem with battery drain on ios 14.2 and apple KNOWS it's a problem

as usual they do not communicate about it and that is creating a lot of distrust against their products.
I would be nice if they'd withdrawn the 14.2 update because if my phone is set to auto-update I will have the same problem again and again...

Same for me here, iPhone 7 with iOS 14.2 update. Went to bed with 100% and woke up 6 hrs later on 30%. I literally sit on couch for 2 minutes and watch it go from 30 to 24% battery. When charging my phone now it takes forever to charge and almost never gets to 100% charged anymore. Also like others I can feel how warm the phone is now even when not using it. Apple really needs to fix this issue ASAP or provide new phones for everyone experiencing this issue. So frustrating.

Since updating to 14.2, my iPhone 8 exhibited nearly every symptom described in this forum. I purchased a Mophie in the hope that would solve the issue. It did not.

My battery eventually indicated that it required “Service” per the phone’s general settings.

I have replaced the battery and will try to report on resulting performance in the coming days.

I have an iPhone 11 which updated to 14.2 and it draining the battery quick.

Same here with my 12 pro max

Since updating to the 14.2 software version my iPhone 11 has been draining battery so quickly that by 12 noon I would need to place it in low battery mode, starting from 100% battery at 7,30 am and with moderate/low usage! I have to be able to rely on my phone and he reachable at all time for work and this has been a significant problem.
When is this issue going to be addressed? Is a new version of the software coming up soon?

I am having the same problem with iPhone 6s everyone else has stated along with my iPad.

My iphone greets every morning plunging to 0% while still plugged in, after charging to 100% overnight. Then restarts. It will drain from checking email within 5 minutes. Not so glad I ordered a new battery, after reading all these comments. iPhone 6s on 14.0.1. Is anybody at Apple testing against older iPhones before iOS release?

The same thing is happening to me since the last iOS update. Has to be the update, because it started happening right after the download. No problems prior to the download.

I have the same problem to. I used iphone X and my wife also use iphone X

my battery health was 84 percent
my wife's battery health was 82 percent.

we had changed our iphone batteries to new one.

after we installed it , and update the software.

we got the same problem

every day our iphone X, drained to 10 percent by the software displayed.

after we restart it, the battery become the real data, for ex: around 80%.

after we leave it for several hours with standby, the iphone suddently error and need more restart. It happends 3 times a day.

i have to keep restart my iphone 3 times a day.

and sometimes, when i use the iphone, the mobile suddently shutdown by it selfs.
