Battery life

Why since the latest IPhone update does the IPhone 12 battery life been reduced to half. I have to charge my phone twice a day now instead of once a day. Nothing has changed in the usage of how I use my phone.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hello Honda2298,

After an iOS update there is always reindexing and clean-up activities that can use up your battery. Give it a little time.

These are the standard steps for short battery life:

1) Have you tried a restart?  If not, do it now.

2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link: 

iPhone Battery and Performance

4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:

Good luck.
