Battery drain in iOS 14.7.1

Idk if it’s just my iPhone but it seems that True Tone must be helping a bit with battery on my iPhone ( I’ve got iPhone 12) and after enabling True Tone it seems to be getting a bit better? Well idk for sure yet but it seems helpful at the moment

I also did a reset of network settings on my SE 2020 and it’s back to pre-14.7.1 battery life (or pretty much so, since I wasn’t monitoring it before the update).

Thanks for the tip and report on network settings! I only wish I knew what was actually causing the problem.

Same for me, same iPhone 11 Pro. After this "recalibration" thing battery acts weird. It can be at 100 for 3 hours, then drop to 70 in next hour. All in standby mode. Also have these sudden jumps. Battery life dropped to barely 16 hours on standby. Tried everything, nothing helps. Completely overwhelmed.

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)

I went to an Apple Store yesterday. I was told 95% battery health was too good to replace the battery.

They told me to do another backup then erase followed by restore from back (using iTunes on a pc).

This process took at least 4 hours so it was too late to determine if there is any benefit from this enterprise.

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.

The tech at the Apple Store showed me this process using a Mac obviously not a pc.

However, she cautioned that success with this approach can be limited and that the best bet was erase and restore.

Yet it is good to hear that the update approach has worked for some having issues after 14.7.1 install.

There IS a fix that works, guys. I had battery drain issues after 14.7.1 and now I don’t. First thing you can try: Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. Then charge it and wait a couple hours. If that doesn’t fix the battery drain, you can connect your iPhone to a Mac (if you have one) and do a system restore via Finder. When that’s complete, set it up as a new phone. If you don’t have a Mac, do an iCloud backup, then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase all Content and Settings. Set it up as a new phone. Once you’ve set it up as a new phone, if you don’t want to manually redownload your apps and customize your settings, you can restore again from your backup. I don’t think this will reinstall the battery drain “bug.” Give those things a try and let us know if the suggestions did or did not work for you.

My iphone 11 is old 2 years and battery health is 95%

When I put the iphone on charge (22-25%) I don't disconnect it from charging, I never completely discharge the battery or charge up to 100% (94-98%)

I'm using a iPhone 11 pro max and after i have updated the IOS to 14.7.1, my battery drained so fast that i can't even use my mobile much when I'm on the road or outside of my house. Would there be a fix coming out soon? otherwise, it will be so inconvenient to me... :(

my phone has been on 64% for the past 30min while charging! it’s **** ridiculous, not to mention that i’m using the fast charger. before the update, it would have charged at least 30% of it in 30 min while i’m still using it to chat with friends 🤬

I'm on iPhone 12 Pro max with 100% battery health also experiencing the same issue, see like mine was worse as it was last charge at 90%, left idle on table not use and suddenly in an hour it drop to 70%...pls resolve its apple, this is something very super unacceptable, if nothing is done than u will lose a lot of future potential customers and current supporters!!!

My iphone 11 had a decent battery backup

before updating to ios 14.7.1 now after the updation am facing severe battery draining issues.. i used to get more than 1 day of life when charged till 100% but now within 3-4 hrs my battery is draining to nearly half. I always need to

put my phone in low power mode now. This is ridiculous from apple’s new update. So i request you to sort it out as soon as possible.

I think they seem not to really be caring about what their customers have to say anymore, constant battery drain, terrible performance, and denied service it really seems like apple are making poor business decisions
