Battery drain in ios 14.2

i updated my iphone 7+ to ios 14.2 and now i have battery drain problem and it takes long time to be charged and warmup during charging
  • My iPhone SE (1st generation) has started draining fast since iOS 14. With iOS 15 it is not doing better. I suspect the drainage is worse the days after an update. According to the service center, the hardware is fine, and the 86% max capacity is still a good one.

Same issue with the iso 14.2 on a 6s. If I am actively using Safari, mail, Facebook etc app open, then I can watch the battery drain by each percent.

Within 2 mins, I have seen about 10-15% battery drop, while using the app. If it just the Home Screen a can still watch the battery percentage drop but not as significantly.

Placing my phone facedown and not using it, I will still see a noticeable drop in battery life after a few hours.

I have the background refresher off and only allow mail to update when I open the app along with other battery saving settings set up.
I too have iphone 7 plus with iOS 14.2 and it draining very very fast! Apple need to fix this problems man.
My iPhone 11 has also been draining quickly after the update. And my phone is like a month old
Same issue with my iPhone 7... it was all working fine till I updated to ios 14.2 .. now my battery drains very quickly. Is Apple back to its old trick to upgrade again??? They make it so difficult to downgrade the version so we are stuck with this till it is fixed :(
Same here with my 6s. I’ve updated to iOS 14.2 two days ago. After that the battery drops so quickly and when it has around 40-50 %, it suddenly drops to 20% and gone very soon! It never happened before and I had a 100% of maximum capacity on my battery as I recently replaced it. Apple! You should do something!!!
My 6S is doing the same thing. Upgraded to iOS 14.2 a few days ago and now, my battery drains 3 or more times faster than normal.
I have 6s, I experience the same. After 1 hour of use, the battery drains completely. I had a video chat for 5 minutes and battery dropped about 40% during the call.
same Issue happen in my I phone 11.my phone only three months old.after iOS 14.2 update suddenly draining charge very fast and long time need to full charge.mobile become very hot after few minutes use.
I am having a same battery drain issue but in a very different way.. i have been using ios 14.2 on my iphone 7 as well on my iphone SE first Gen. the Battery Drain on iphone SE is very drastic and every 30 Seconds i loose one percent of the battery ...

That means if my battery is 100% and i start using the phone or for that matter its kept upside down on the table for every 30-40 seconds i loose one percent on a average.. and at one point it comes to 1% and stays there.. and then i have been using it for 9 hours... that is some thing that started to happen when i went in for the ios 14.2 upgrade from ios 14.1

and when i start charging the same mechanism happens after every 30 % seconds 1 percent + is battery charged..

that is a real weird update from apple this time.. I have done the Clean wipe. Factory reset all Fresh install. Completely drained the battery to calibrate it but nothing worked.. Most surprising part is my battery health is 85% and that is OK to last it atleast 6-8 hours on single charge and that it was doing it before i did the upgrade to ios 14.2

apple pls fix this....
breaking the devices this way is not good.. :(

Similar story updated IPhone 7 to IOS14.2. Battery indicator rapidly drops to 20% in a couple of hours. By 3 hours it says 1%. I didn’t have a charging cable with me but phone worked fine; Mail, browsing on Safari and WhatsApp for another 12 hours while still saying 1%. Low battery warning comes up suggesting I go into low power mode. I avoid and it seems to keep going. Notifications now accounts for 17% of my battery usage!
iPhone X here. Same issue since upgraded to 14.2. SEVERE battery drain just texting a few ppl. Taking a 10 second video etc. if I play a 2 minute words with friends my battery drains by 10-15%. Charging it takes over night (7) hours of starting in the 20% range. I now bring a portable charger with me everywhere just to be sure I’ll make it through a few hours away from home. I don’t have background refresher on apps or mail. The only thing I do is answer calls or texts and I’ll be between 40-50% after 2-3 hours. Most of the time it’s in my pocket. Gets HOT when charging
I should have checked first. Today I installed 14.2 on a SE 2020 and was shocked by how fast the battery drained. It was 80% or so and sat unused for a few hours and was down to 20%. Then after 15 min of reading news, it was down to 4%. This is exactly why I waited a long time to move from 13.x - but I did not wait long enough, it seems.
