Battery drain in iOS 14.7.1

Hi,


Battery drain is happening after updated to iOS 14.7, the percent is jumping from 77% to 71% without almost any use, I am using the iPhone 11 Pro normal and my battery health is still on 100%.


Is anyone experiencing this too?


iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

My 11 pro was having overheat issue with 14.7.. with 14.7.1 the overheat went away but the battery drained fast. Tried the stuff other said on this thread including the normal reboots and no fix. While looking through settings for what I might be able to do to mitigate the issue I decided to turn off “hey Siri”, for me it seems to help and battery life little closer to the way it was before the drain issue.

All-


I did eventually notice improvement after resetting network settings. I had previously posted I didn’t notice a change. It just took a couple hours after the reset. I also did a total factory reset and set up my phone as brand new by connecting it to my MacBook Pro. I probably didn’t HAVE to do this, but I figured, why not? My phone’s battery usage is now superb. (iPhone 11 Pro Max 256gb)

The 14.7.1 update has issues in multiple areas of the iOS. Turning off Siri has slowed the drain more than the network reset for me. If a software update requires to erase and restore a device then the update was not created to the standards people expect from apple. From the iPhone 3g to the 12 the updates have become more flawed than beneficial in some respects.

GUYS I THINK I FOUND THE FIX.


I reinstalled iOS in my iPhone.Here's the steps for you to reinstall the iOS with your Mac-


So please connect your iPhone with your Mac first, then Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery mode screen.


Then on your Mac, you will get the option to restore or update, choose Update. Your computer will try to reinstall iOS or iPadOS without erasing your data.


This has worked for me, Battery life is a lot better.


Also I don’t know how to reinstall with a Windows computer but I am sure the steps are online.
