my battery life on iOS 14.6 is terrible… is it just me or anyone is experiencing this thing too??
So after putting up with this issue of the App Store using around 50% of my battery each day for nearly two weeks (and with activity levels at 100% every hour, with almost all of it in the background) I contacted apple support online chat. They suggested a few things that I had already tried and so we went to the full restore whilst the phone is plugged into a computer. So I reset my phone 11 via my Mac (following their instructions) and then I restored via iCloud backup .
I have now had ten hours of normal battery behaviour; usually by this point in the day my iPhone would be nearly dead. It is still on 56% 👍🏻👏🏻
So if anyone on here is struggling with battery life since iOS 14.6 was released and has tried a number of things but not yet tried the full restore plugged into a computer (which is better than an untethered restore according to the apple support chat representative) then I would urge you try it. Yes, it is a pain resetting the phone and waiting for it to restore from backup (and I now need to reconfigure my banking apps and wallet) - but I'm very happy that the problem seems to be resolved.
Cheers
Everyone, I have started a discussion on iOS 14.7 battery drain, write your reviews on battery life over there then at least Apple will listen to us.
Yeah, same, till then write your review in this discussion. Thank you! https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252976539
Removing and reinstalling the podcast app didn't fix the problem. It looked like it because the battery drain initially seemed to have been less than before because before it just dropped right off before, and after reinstalling the app the slope was less steep when I looked at it. But the drain accelerated as time went on, and within an hour it was down to 77% from a full charge.
Standing by.
Absolutely horribly bad. I checked my auto brightness as one person stated and no help here. I was @ 100% at noon and had to charge again at 6 as I was below 20%. Apple needs to do a fix on this TODAY. I need a newer phone and it’s maybe time to look at something besides apple.
The same here, very bad. iP X battery was working great for whole day without charging, after IOS 14.6 upgrade to be able connect to Air tag, battery drains 56% just 2 hours after charging. WTF Apple doing ????
Its so frustating now, there are 6 versions of ios 14 out and there is no fix for battery drain and heating issue. I don’t know why apple not fix these issue in any updates . They never addresed these issue. In that segment android is better than ios.
3 years into iPhones. 2 Years Mac. Barring the 1st year with iPhone SE 1st Gen, the association with iPhone has been bad. If someone were to follow my Online search keywords, they would find "iPhone", "Battery", "Heating", "UI Lag" in frequencies far surpassing my other areas of interest. The trend seems to be "New iPhone>Issue (battery drain, UI lag, heatup)>Check online>Contact Customer Service>Wait for upcoming update> (Back to Issues)
Claims of Premium, Service-oriented products appear false but engaging. The only good thing is the "Return value" against other makes. One cannot be expected to spend handsomely and keep looking!
One in millions isn't an issue to apple, but one is me and its difficult.
Das Problem ist bei mir wenn ich über Bluetooth Musik hören dann wird das Smartphone oben rechts Wärmer wo auch die Kamera ist. Wird wohl ein Update nötig sein?
The problem is with me when I listen to music via Bluetooth as the smartphone top right warmer where also the camera is. Since only an update helps I think.
That's how much Apple love us! New iPhone 13 is coming... Just spoke with one of the team member about my battery drain like crazy! They don't even know about a issue! This is a completely joke! They do that all the time hoping nobody will notice!
Thanks to apple. I m going to sell my iphone 11 pro 8 months old device and i never purchase apple products in future thanks for giving me a worst experience i thought apple is best in battery compartment but i m wrong. Now apple follow the pathway of android now apple downgrade the many features
i never use podcast app and i deleted that app before so, and now its 4th day and battery drain still happen in my 11 pro watching you tube 10 min and its drops 2 to 3% so why battery drain in my device any clue?
Even better the joker I spoke to said nothing wrong with battery and the reason was that a backup was required!!!
Obviously they don’t have a clue. Have to say if my team of testers put such rubbish out they would be looking for another job
I have same problem, after update to 14.6, my iphone X powered down after i woke up although battery has level 52% before. Hope apple solve this problem in official version 14.7 soon :((

everyone facing same issue that we had may be apple fix these issue in ios 14.6.1 or not hope so . But these type of issues potentially harm battery life and battery capacity. What we do now? When apple release perfect ios for everyone that never have battery drain and heating problem
This is a lie ?????
I am really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you due to this however I would like to assure you that the issue is not with the latest iOS update as not many people are facing the same. It's really unfortunate that you have to go through this and we will try our best to get it resolved at the earliest.
