Hello acsenthil,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having issues with your iPhone battery after the recent update. To make sure you have the best software option, have you also installed iOS 14.0.1? If not, we do suggest that you do.

Have you had a chance to implement recommendations from Maximizing Battery Life and Lifespan? If not, the tips here may help.


Also, have you checked out your battery health? This can impact the way your iPhone discharges as it begins to age. You can read more about this in iPhone Battery and Performance.


Best regards.

Hello,

here are the input from my end.


  1. i have installed 14.0.1 day after it was rolled out
  2. normally used to charge around 80% all the time
  3. i did a hard reset suggested in support forum
  4. most of the time my phone is in low power mode only
  5. i have disabled background refresh option since i bought it
  6. my battery health is around 92%


Even though it is not like before 14.x.x update. the weirdest part is it is keep on draining even i put it in aeroplane mode in bed time. i’m getting my phone with 0% all the morning.

Hey there, acsenthil!


Thanks for following up and providing that additional details. First, you mentioned that you keep your iPhone in Low Power Mode. Although this seems a good option, we do want to point out this feature is specifically designed to help when your battery is low and you're not in a position to charge it right away. You can read more about this in article, Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone.


Looking over your screenshots, we can see that you've highlighted the section showing Home & Lock Screen as the main charge user during this period. When you see this, it can indicate that during that period you were receiving a lot of notifications, causing your screen to wake up. Does that sound possible? If so, you may want to visit Settings > Notifications and determine if there are any apps you don't need to receive notifications from throughout the day.


Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


If you continue to experience issues with the ones suggested in the Maximize Battery Life and Lifespan, you may want to reach out to Apple Support so they can take a deeper look into what's causing the battery to deplete faster than expected.

Best wishes.

Hello,

since i bought the phone i have kept all mu notifications in off mode only except phone, message and find my phone. i don’t think that should be reason and this is becoming void when thr same issue happens even when it’s in aeroplane too as like i said in first statement.


today screen shot with all notifications in off mode with non-aeroplane mode fyi.
