I have an iPhone 7, was working just fine before updating to iOS 14.2, now battery drain is awful!
Is there a bug in the update? A way to fix it? Or just want us with “old” iPhone models to be forced into buying a new one.....

Thanks for your help!

I have an 8 plus and same!! Perfectly fine before, now I have to charge it multiple times a day. Unbelievable!! It seems as though something is running all the time. Trying to connect to something? 😵 I love how once I’ve had my device for a couple of years it magically has issues. Same thing happened with my 6 plus. Coincidence?

Same issue with an iPhone 7plus. Battery health is 81% and was lasting all day, until updated to 14.2 two days ago. Now phone runs hot to touch when using and I can now, literally, watch the battery charge drain before my eyes when using the phone. I now need to constantly recharge through the day.
This needs fixing ASAP, please!

same issue here with Xs Max. Right after an upgrade to ios 14.2 things changed completely battery drains so quickly within few hours of just texting and phone calls battery drains off
The phone gets really hot even after shutting down all background apps, tried hard reset thought it might help or may be its something to do with apps I deleted all apps but the problem is still there
This is completely annoying any help?
