Ios 14.6 is causing excessive battery drainage.
ios 14.5.1 was too laggy and has more performance issue in games and operating system,but those issues solved and new issue born with the battery drainage.

Typically, when upgrading to a new iOS release, there is a number of activities that need to complete in the background even after the install finishes. It is best to wait a day or two, using the phone as you normally would, before you can get a more accurate "picture" of any excessive battery draining issues. It will also depend on how you have your phone configured ... which you didn't provide us with any information. There are a number of features that use up battery, the most dominant would be screen brightness.
iPhone 12 100% battery health. My phone would last for 2 1/2 days now it doesn’t last the entire day after installing 14.6. I’ve done most of the normal tricks to no avail. The only thing I haven’t done as a full factory reset
I am having the same problem. Since the update to 14.6 my iPhone 11 Pro is getting super hot and the battery dies constantly. This did not happen before. I listen to podcasts at night so make sure my phone is fully charged. Before the update I could sleep all night with podcasts playing and wake up with the phone still adequately charged and it never got hot!
Let me add:
the Installations of 14.6 seems to have a problem.
every time I restart, it starts with “hola”, and granulates with the upgrade. Then I need to select the Wi-Fi network.
this happens every time- have restored 6-7 times.
I am still having major drain after the update. I deleted and re-installed my podcast app because I listen to a lot of podcasts but this has not helped. My phone is still getting really hot which is alarming. It's crazy that Apple does not want to take responsibility for this or update the software to prevent this!
I have a similar problem iPhone 11 where it is warm and my charge is so sloooow!
I can’t understand why I can’t watch a video and read my emails at the same time like before.
I need help here Genius Bar!
Hi,
Same issue on the iPad Pro after update 14.6. I tried that suggestion of deleting the Podcast app, and it has helped a little, but the battery percentage is still dropping way too fast. The update may have damaged the battery. My warranty will run out in10 days, but I've heard that I'd be wasting my time bring it back to the store, you get told that the battery is a consumable, and then they show you the price list for a replacement battery. Any suggestions?
Hi, I’ve got the same issue and seems like it just happened overnight. Phone was working fine the last days. Using a 12pro and only just bought it last Oct! My phone was 100% when I went to bed last night and did not leave the plug on but this morning it had gone down 50%! Also, my battery health was at 97% but went down to 96% overnight. This is very worrying and I’m thinking of going down to Apple today but not sure if there is another way to fix this.
having the same issue here
It has almost 2 week, i have the same problem.
I'm using iPhone XS (MT9F2HN/A).
Please find the cause and fix it ASAP
I had the same problem, but additionally since today my two cameras stop working, also the flashlight. Obviusly, the Face ID have the same issue :( Have an Iphone Xs, upgraded today to iOS 14.6
How can I have my COVID tracing app on my Apple Watch although on my iPhone 11 and synchronised?
No apps appear to be used at night so I can’t seem to find a reason why the battery went down 50%.
This was just before I slept and unplugged the charger. Just doesn’t make sense that it would go down so much when there was no activity.
What about 12-1 where the bars show? You only selected a short period of time there. Otherwise, I cannot find any reason your device would lose 50% battery overnight. What I showed you is all you can use to try and track battery issues.
You’d think right? But no activity at all.
Ios 14.6 battery
