Battery drain after iOS 14 update.

After the 14.2 update my batteries on my SE2020 iPhone and my new iPad, they drain uncontrollably. On my iPhone when I reboot it goes from 1% to 100% sometimes. You need to get a patch to fix this ASAP!

Iphone 8 after upgrade to ios 14.2 from 13 i need to charge phone 3x per day with two hours an average screen time.

with phone locked and no application turned on in idle mode phone loses 10% of battery per hour an average.

I dont want to change any settings since i was charging phone once in two days on ios 13 version.

i thought we are getting energy efficient... charging phone 3 times a day is quite oposite 😁.

Literally wtf QA team??

i would rather downgrade than follow idiotic instruction to disable 15 things.

Is this another attempt of apple to boost new iphone 12 sales by software “features”?

dont get me wrong love the product, but literally hate your QA team.

help!

There something really off. I leave my iPad plugged in overnight and it’s charged like +20% when it used to be at 100% no problem. I was also able to use Chrome while plugged in and still charge the battery. Now it drains significantly instead. Yeah, it’s an old iPad but this has been a dramatic change in like the last few months, not a gradual decline.

This is all with the iPad plugged in: https://imgur.com/VGqw4nf

Same here, I charge while I sleep and when I get up, without even using the phone, once it’s unplugged it’s almost dead in 2 hours. With my usage it has usually taken all day in the past. APPLE get on this and fix the update ASAP please, my phone is useless unless plugged in.

Really? Battery needs replacement! This is the same stunt used a few years back when an update caused battery to drain faster, to try to get people to buy a new phone, tablet or iPod.

Shame on you Apple! My issue started after the update would be at 80%, power off by itself once plugged in shows battery completely drained after a minute or two showing the 80% again ALL AFTER THE UPDATE 😡

I'm done with apple, its rotten.

Bought an android for a fraction of the cost of an iphone. Love it.

Battery lasts two to three days.

Instead of paying apple to replace the battery, I spent a couple hundred more and bought a brand new phone.

I am not going to fall for apple's tricks any more.

My phone has been loosing power so quickly after the latest iOS update that i can barely keep up. Same with my boyfriend. Have Watched it go from fully charged to 10%or less within seconds - right in front of my eyes.. This keeps happening over and over. All the Apple stores are now closed again because of the pandemic . What in the world were u guys thinking putting this out and then not immediately patching ? And doing it right now of all times?? I seriously don’t know what to do about this. My boyfriend is self employed and really need his phone. Please for the love of sanity (and being a good corporate citizen) get out a patch for this ASAO!!!

I am thinking that maybe way out are ios updates. Trying the new one now. A week since the last one. Still betting on this because if i will try factory update then i will keep that old se1 version of ios that came with it and be offline. Use it for calls and sms. Which was anyway my plan with the apple phone. Swich offline once se1 ios are out of support. I just did not expect that i will remain on the base ios. But who will in future say “oh you have bad battery because the ios14 mishandled that”. Is it true? It is not impossible.

This is a software issue not a phone issue. I've experienced the very same issue ever since I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 14.2.x., I was hoping the recent iOS 14.3 was going to fix it but it appears to drain even faster than the the 14.2.x versions. I've gone through several phone OS software wipes attempting to resolve the issue but it doesn't help! Please fix this ASAP as its a software issue.

The "optimize battery performance" suggestions don't work. I've done all of them and the phone says my battery is good (97%)! Last week my car died and after calling for help my phone died. It was at 100% when I left home (5 minutes before it died). The one person who volunteered to pick me up during Covid, got lost and my phone was DEAD! It's cold out and I had to walk 3 miles home. I will think twice about buying an Apple phone again!

This absolutely a software issue. My Phone has been draining power like a fiend ever since I downloaded this iOS / update. It’s crazy bad. Time has not fixed this, resetting/turning my phone on and off hasn’t fix this. We’re in the middle of a pandemic and this is going on too?? My boyfriend is seriously considering dumping Apple and going Samsung As a direct result of this ridiculousness. I don’t know what the engineers at Apple were thinking when they released this or why they haven’t put out an update.But they need to hop on this yesterday!

I am having the same issue. The battery was fine prior to the recent install. As I type with zero other applications the battery life has deteriorated.

I would have to charge my phone after about 6 hours of use, now it’s after a 45 minute phone call.

please post instructions or direct me to removing this downgrade to my phone.

They only way is a complete reset of the iPhone 6S, very, old model. The best option is to bring it back to ios 13, advice from Apple, because it would run smoother and doen’t rquier so much from the system as ios 14 do. But there is no way, polici from Apple, to migrate backt to ios 13. To bad but this is the way. I hope some day there will be a choise not made by Apple to stay on an ios, and get the right security updates, that works just good. If that is not the very latested is not the problem by Apple but my own.

The only choise I have right now is to refresh ios 14 because it is messed up, again.

It seems to be atipical because the battery apears healty, 87% condition. But afther determining with a check, AMac store, the iPhone is send to Apple for a new battery. Now I have to wait a couple of days, instead I use an old iPhone.

I bought a new iPad and it worked well for about a month and then the same issue with the battery draining began happening! I’m a diehard Apple fan, and I’m really frustrated with this issue! Their products are not cheap and when I called customer service they were seemingly unaware of the issue, at technical support? Hopefully someone will get the problem resolved.
