iOS 14.3 Battery Drain On iPhone 12 mini

I am experiencing battery drain throughout the day even without any phone activity. I have applied all possible solutions that suggest to save the battery life. I have attached screenshots of battery level & activity which shows that the phone was idle between 12AM and 6AM and still we can see battery drain. I believe Apple resolves this issue at the earliest. We did not buy the latest device from Apple just to keep everything off to save battery and still see battery draining constantly !

Hi All,


Last night the battery drain was 4% for a seven hours standby time. It looks like there is no definite pattern. But what I noticed is the battery usage for a medium usage is fine with the only concern being a 15 mins voice call takes 4-5% and using the mobile data for 1 min took 2-3% which is not acceptable. I guess the new modem used in iPhone 12 series is the issue. Not sure if this can be fixed by a firmware update.

Hi All,


I have an update here. Last night I changed my Mobile Data Option from 4G to 3G, turned on Low Data Mode, deleted the default Mail App of iOS and restarted my phone. These 3 changes were done after all the Battery Saving Tips on YouTube failed for me. To my surprise, I did not see even 1% battery drain overnight (7 hours of standby time). I am planning to test my battery drain overnight percentage with the above mentioned 3 changes for few more days and will post an update here (fingers crossed).

Hi All,


Last night again my overnight battery drain was 0% with the no changes in settings other than the 3 changes I had mentioned in my earlier reply. I guess, the overnight battery drain is now in acceptable limits. Most of the times it is either 0% or <= 5% during the seven hours of standby time. The only issue that I am facing is a 15 mins voice call takes 4-5% and using the mobile data for 1 min took 2-3% which is not acceptable.
