I have installed the beta iOS 14 on my iPhone 6s and the battery drains pretty fast
iOS 14 Beta Battery drain on iPhone 6s
moyer678 for the win!
I’ve just spent an hour on the phone to Apple and managed a battery countdown .. whilst they ran a diagnostic.. my iPhone 6s ran great until I downloaded Ios14.3.. after this you can actually do a countdown as you watch the battery drain.... you won’t be surprised that the diagnostic showed no issues.
personally, I wish Apple would get rid of the aluminium and cutting edge quality because let’s be honest they deliberately brick your phone after a few years so why do quality.... it’s an insult to pay a £1000 for a phone just to have the manufacturer press the button.... mines clearly the logan’s run edition....
just to add, my works Samsung galaxy hasn’t missed a beat and the battery lasts DAYS .... not hours (sorry minutes under iOS 14.3
on the plus side my friendly Apple rep said I could buy a new one.. to add to my Aluminium collection 😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Posted answer by moyer678 worked!! Try it.
I have the similar issue. Looking at the battery usage, it is strange that battery charge suddenly drops in 1-2 hour window when phone is not in use.It got to be some background creep. Looking usage in that time window shows
Settings using 68% and Home and Lock screen using 24% and "Recently deleted apps" using 6%, really, after an app is deleted, it is still using battery? really??
This is just ridiculous to charge phone every 5 hours and battery drains this fast when not in use. Before IOS 14.3 upgrade battery was fine. Apple, please provide a fix asap.

Hello,
I just received an update on yesterday afternoon for my Iphone 6S : IOS 14.3.
I encountered a battery drain of 50% this night in plane mode...

Exactly the same problem on an iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus. There is definitely an issue with the most recent OS release in that it absolutely drains the battery. I experimented with wiping the phone completely and doing a net new install with no new apps and the problem remained (battery drains very quickly).
Also, now the "Important Battery Message" is saying your battery's health is significantly degraded yet I replaced the battery on the 6s Plus just 1.5 years back.
Another Apple OS14.3 "benefit" is that the phone will periodically automatically "reboot" (black screen with spinning dial and then Apple logo) when just using the phone as I have used it for the past 4+ years.
Clearly a move to obsolete older phones and get people to upgrade or just poor quality control (not sure which is actually worse).
Bad form Apple - shame on you!

iOS 14.3 has ruined my life, phones battery life has destroyed by this version iOS. I am really upset. I can’t understand how do i stop unnecessary battery draining. Followed so many suggestions from different sources but no result.
Is there any fruitful suggestions for me ?

same here -- updated to 14.3 and now my battery drains without any phone use. I can't even listen to podcasts while I take a walk. My battery (which I've already replaced) says its "health" is 95%. what the FUCK, Apple?
IOS14.3 has been the worst for my iPhone XR.
It was fully charged and now at less than 20% in 4.5 hours... I have never had to charge my phone more than once every 1.5 days.
Device was bought new, 18 months ago and battery at 89%
Incredibly disappointed.

Well, Apple succeeded in its Phone Bricking Project.
My 2016 SE became unusable due to iOS 14.3's amazing 100-to-zero in the blink of an eye battery trick.
I took the plunge and bought a brand new SE2020.
Guess what?
Running iOS 14.3, its battery life is WORSE than my old phone.
If Steve Jobs were alive today, I swear every single Apple software engineer would be fired for sheer incompetence.

My phone needs charged twice a day now and it’s slow charging too WTF

I've been following this and many other threads on the issue, as my iPhone 6s is also affected.
I am sad to report that none of the solutions seemed to work. The problem appeared after upgrading from 14.2 to 14.3.
Upgrade to 14.4 RC has not helped either. Installing a new battery made 0 difference.
I am in the position where I must charge the phone semi permanently to be able to use it for a bit of email checking. Anything more than that the battery is dead within 10 minutes. The phone is warm/hot even while cycling around at 0°C
I had a good experience with the phone for the past 5,5 years, but now am contemplating changing ecosystems.
Otherwise my options are:

Otherwise my options are:
Either buying a new phone for 1000+€ or
Buying refurbished/used older model for 400+€ in which case I will be having the same problems in a couple of years seeing as Apple is so big on planned obsolesence.
Hi there , i had same problem on my iPhone 7 and i decided to downgrade my ios to 14.2 also i've changed my battery with new one, at the end my problem got solved. Good luck.
My 6s also drain battery much faster like 0% health battery. 12.30am there was 68% battery capacity. So i turn on the battery sever an set alam to wake me up 6.30pm. Today morning at 6.30am my mobile battery was 1%. Why is that? I didn’t do anything. 68% to 1% with in 6 hours without doing anything. This experience happens after update my os 13 to 14.3. Please help not i updated it to 14.4 also. I hope apple will fix this issue soon. My battery health 85%
i was planning to get apple 11 pro but now I’m afraid to buy that because if apple treat to old devices like this. One day new devices will get the same issues soon.

Same problem here on my iphone 7 & i have 100% battery,the phone is unusable in 14.3/14
I have an iPhone 7.
Initially I upgraded to iOS 14.0 and my phone was unusable, so I downgraded immediately.
Then, I have upgraded directly from iOS 13.7 to 14.4, based on feedback of Reddit users that said the battery drain was gone.
For me it’s true, no battery drain at all. It lasts as long as on iOS 13.

After months of battery drain from 14.3 to 14.4 the only thing that finally solved the problem for me was the disabling and deleting of every widget on the device.
I paid to touch my iphone 7 plus battery last week because it was really bad. and it was great! yesterday I upgraded to ios 14.4 and my battery is not doing well, it discharges super fast! 14.4 was supposed to help with this problem! now i have a new and good battery, but with this update it ruined everything
Apple needs to improve battery life on older iPhones
my 6s been giving me headache (battery health 86%)

Come on Apple, what are you doing to address the 'Rapid Battery Discharge Issue?
This has been ongoing for over 4 weeks as far as I am concerned and judging by some of the comments on this forum, much, much longer.
Is this issue only applicable to iOS 14? I certainly hadn't noticed it on easy iOS updates.
I have an iPhone 6S where 'Battery Health' shows that the Maximum Capacity is 86%.
The phone is not used very much apart from the odd phone call and a few photographs.
Last night, before I went to sleep, the battery was put on charge.
This morning at 0730 it was showing it as being charged to 100%.
By 1130 it was down to 1%!!!!!!!!
Why, what are you doing about it?
Saying nothing is not going to do much for your 'brand loyalty' is it.
So tell us what you are doing about it!

I have same issue with my iPhone 11 Pro, battery capacity drying after updating when I bought in 2019 and after first update after 2 months I lost 2 precent of battery capacity more and more
I too experienced severe battery drain after upgrading to IOS 14. I noticed Music app doing background processing even though I had setting for no background processing. So as a last ditch effort I uninstalled the Music app. So far after fully charged 3 hours of use and still at 99%. I heard the Music app is trying to sync with Apple watch but I don't even have an Apple Watch. This needs to be fixed!
