I don’t want to update system to 14.7.1 but I had to do that cuz mobile data stop working for no reason, now I have battery issues #apple #battery_bugs"

Michal ~ What model of iPhone is it?...

Settings > General > About > Model Name

Does it still have its original battery?

And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

Settings > Battery > Battery Health

Completely agree!!! This is the result of the update!!!! My house is full of mostly iphone users and everyone started experiencing this problem after updating to 14.7.1!!!!! You cannot tell me that everyones batteries all of a sudden started going bad!!!!! THIS is Crazy!!!! Apple NEEDS to fix this!!!!!

who knows if this post will finally be kept up. 1st amendment not allowed here apparently. contained no cusses, nothing. God forbid you criticize bad product, bad work. I have the same issue and it drains my brand new iPhones battery in 4 hours from 100%. THIS IS NUTS!!!!

My iPhone 12 Pro Max is only 4 months old, the battery health is at 100%, but the battery life of each charge is significantly shorter than it was before the IOS 14.7 update. The battery was lasting the whole day since I got it, but not anymore. It’s very disappointing. A fix should’ve come through already.

as i said this is standard in apple updates. as soon as update 14.7.1 was released, I read on the forum that the old error with a battery drop, e.g. from 50 to 0% in 5 seconds returned, so for half a year I used the 14.5.1 version on which everything was as it should, but suddenly one day they stopped to run applications using mobile data, I had to install updates ....

now the phone is useless because I do not know when it will suddenly turn off if it has 80 percent or 40, and all these answers like "check the battery status, is the battery original, what iPhone model do you have" are so pointless that I want to laugh , phone worked fine on version 14.5.1 ... I don't have the strength for it anymore

You might have already checked this, but I noticed that my XR wasn't charging while plugged in and I had to restart the phone for the charger to register. While checking my battery usage the phone seemed to spike only in the last 24 hours, while I've had the iOS 14.7.1 update for a week. However, I have noticed the rate of charging has decreased since 14.6. I am used to the battery charging, while under 50%, to be more than 1% per minute, but now it is 1% per 2.5 minutes, whether the phone is on or off; Battery health is 97%. My next test will be a backup/restore to factory and retest the battery while on and off.

And why should I? Why should I change the way I’m using my iPhone? It was perfectly fine before the update. Apple broke it, why should I adapt to this change? I want Apple to fix it, I don’t want advice on how to live with it.

I have my 11 Pro Max for 2 years. My battery health was 99% before 14.7.1, since then it dropped to 96%.

Total charge at the morning doesn’t support the divice to the end of the day, usually, before 14.7.1, I had 30% at 11PM.

I really hope it will be fixed, but the battery health will no be recovered.

I've read about people having reception issues with multiple phone numbers tied to the same iPhone, after the 14.7 update, but also people with no reception issues while still experiencing faster than normal battery drainage/usage. As for fixing the issues, you have to choose whether you're going to simply report the issue to Apple and let them try to solve it with another software update or if you're going to take the time to fix it yourself, assuming it's not an actual hardware issue.

Step one, for any direction you go in, is to backup your iPhone. It sounds weird, but coincidentally or not, sometimes I've found the process of backing up can sort things out, and you want a recent backup anyway, so realistically that isn't a waste of time either way.

Step two is determine whether you want to restore the iPhone to factory settings, without any other data on it, which will help you determine if it's a software or hardware issue. If that didn't help or somehow you determined that it isn't a hardware issue, then you still have a choice. The last option isn't approved by Apple, but there are legitimate websites that have the .ipsw files you need of every iOS version released, so technically you could reinstall iOS 13 or 14.1. Granted if you don't already have a backup of your phone while on the software version you rollback to, then restoring your data from a backup isn't going to work.

Most of the Apple-approved steps and instructions are listed in my previous post with all of the links to the Apple website, but if you're really stressed about 14.7.1, you have about an hour of time (plus the time it takes to restore from a backup), a backup of your phone while on the previous version of the software, AND a current backup of your phone as a safety net, jump on YouTube and search for "How To Downgrade iOS - From 14.0 to 13.7."

Hopefully my advise helps you narrow down whether you want to spend time fixing it now or wait for another software update to fix it. Enjoy your day, good luck, and stay safe.

Bro, at this point I think all hopes lost until apple pull their head in and fix their issues and or make replacement batteries cheaper for us consumers otherwise I’ll have to have a look and see what other android phones there are because this is getting out of hand with all this battery drain 🥲, just why do apple make these terrible decisions to us customers?? Why can’t they just respect that not all users have the money to upgrade their iPhones to the newest iPhones?? Why can’t we just enjoy the iPhones we’ve got 🥲🥲 just please apple FIX!! FIX!! FIX!!

My battery health is 84%. Are you saying that to me this is normal that my battery drops from 54% to 0 and device shuts down, then I plug in for 3 seconds to charger and can use phone with 4% battery for 10 hours? And this start when I updated a device. And I have same issue in iOS 14.2 with same battery. I use iOS 14.5.1 for 6 months and it’s work perfectly fine with 84 % battery health. Then it’s clear for me this is software issue

I don’t understand why resetting the network settings and/or restoring people’s devices corrected the problem for many people, but not others. These solutions WORK. I don’t think the people that continue to post about the battery drain are actually attempting the fixes that have been given over and over again. It’s like baby birds just sitting in the nest squawking waiting for food to be put in their mouths. Just do the fixes. Aren’t you tired of the battery drain problem? Wouldn’t it just be easier to complete the steps and be done with it rather than stressing yourself out complaining about it over and over again. Others can only show you the door. YOU must decide to walk through it.

Yes batteries can go quite suddenly. If you read my user tip you will have seen my own battery went quite suddenly with 83% "health". People have been blaming the last thing to happen (eg update) since the forum began.

Do the self-discharge test and come back tomorrow.

Well, since my battery is totally degenerate, how do you explain the fact that on the same battery on the ios 14.5.1 system, I could use the phone for 16 hours. And earlier on the same battery on ios 14.2 I had the same problem as I have now on 14.7.1, what suddenly on 14.5.1 my battery repaired itself?

I will also mention that I used the special version of ios 14.5.1 because my phone worked flawlessly, and I did not want to update the device because on the forum I read that problems with 14.2 returned. Unfortunately, I was forced to update, because suddenly my applications stopped working when I was using mobile data, they only worked when I was connected to wi-fi, even restarting the network settings did not help. So don't write me stupid things and don't justify a badly written system ....

I am done, I will not argue with you.
