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

I have the same problem as you.

“Optimized battery charging” toggles itself on (after being turned off) after turning iPhone off and back on.

This started after IOS 14.2 installed to my iPhone XS MAX, also high battery drain, battery health is 98%.


@Apple Please fix this issue

I believe you missed my point. iOS 14.2 (or any version of iOS) has nothing to do with a Mac. iOS is the operating system for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches. It is not the operating system for a Mac. If you are having a problem with your Mac, you're in the wrong forum. You would want to select from the appropriate forum here:

Thanks, I submitted feedback!

My iPad has been shut down 8 hours now and zero battery drain, so CS “need repair” response is absolute nonsense. It is obviously software not hardware. It must be some core task/process running all the time, I wonder what task[s] would run on a 2018 vs 2015 iPad pro 12.9? Same OS, same apps installed...

Only real software/interface difference I can see in settings are iMessage and “privacy warning” for wifi, but i disabled iMessage and put in airplane mode and battery drain still occurs in standby with zero “activity” logged.
