Will iOS 14.2 fix battery drain issue of iphone11?

Throughout last year I kept reading reviews that how good the battery is on iPhone 11 and finally I bought two weeks ago. But to my horror battery is not at all good. If I watch two episodes on Apple TV, it drops almost 30%. Normal chat on WhatsApp or on iMessage for 10-15 minutes eats up the 10% of battery. That’s not normal. Or is it? Currently my phone is on iOS 14.1. Shall I wait for 14.2 update or head to the service centre’s?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Scivs,

Thank you for letting me know this issue exists across the board with other devices AND for giving us iPhone 11 suffers ammunition. I’ve recently found out that Apple Support Agents, IE: Genius Bar Tech’s are very helpful the first time but are not after that. The standard response to battery draining instead of charging or draining rapidly IS you need your battery tested by apple OR you need to replace your battery because it’s bad. Oh, my favorite is, ‘No one else is having this problem. It’s just you.’ Yes, it will be great iIF Apple would just fix this problem,

My battery life has been terrible since the 14.2 update. For example, before I went to sleep it was on 48% I woke up to 9% left. App’s & safari windows were all closed down. This is terrible. Apple need to fix this ASAP.

My iPhone 8 had a fantastic battery & I had no issues until last week when the software updated.

I actually turned off all the widgets thinking this would help, but I believe it has not.

is there any tips to save battery

Glad to see it’s not just me. My iPhone 8 would last all day and still have plenty of power so I didn’t charge until the next morning. Now after the 14.2 update, I’m having to charge twice or three times a day. Why is this a continuing problem with ALL iPhones and updates? You’d think they’d figure this one out by now. Might be time to switch to android.

When the software causes the battery to over perform, yes, it will cause the battery to over heat, as batteries do a little something called producing energy....wow. How about you put your hand on any laptop genius, feel the warmth??? This is the second update people are reporting battery issues, it's not effecting everyone. KEYWORDS HERE BUDDY: "ITS NOT EFFECTING EVERYONE. read more comments, its effecting a lot. BYE
