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

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 wife has an iPhone SE that’s about a year old, and I have a 6s. Both of our phones are experiencing SIGNIFICANT AND RAPID BATTERY DRAIN after the “upgrade” to 14.7.1.


My 6s had a battery replacement before the pandemic started, the replacement was done in our local Apple store, and it was doing fine until this update. Now I see it start in the AM with 100% charge, then it drops to 10% within 3-4 hours! I’ve tried all the suggestions, including resetting network settings, without any improvement. Very disappointed in the update...
