I’m having the same problem.
I have had the same problem with my iPhone 12. I am constantly running to the charger, and barely on my phone all day
I have been noticing this on my iPhone 12 Pro Max
Been have severe battery drain since up date to iOS 14.4.2
Same issue for me. Dramatical battery drain after upgrade to latest 14.4.2. iPhone Xs MT532CN/A.
Please help!
Please help!
Same here. I’ve got a 12 Pro Max and noticed a distinct battery drain
My iPhone (X) even acknowledges this. In the Battery section in settings it says:
There are no obvious candidates in the list of programs taking up battery power, so I reckon it is iOS itself.
I have not been using it more myself.Recent Usage
Your iPhone has been used more than usual since upgrading iOS, which may affect battery life.

@PhilR73 same here took off charge a few hours ago haven’t even used it now 89% what gives Apple?
Add another to the list; my battery is lasting half as long as it used to since I updated to 14.4.2
Same issue after 14.4.2 upgrade. iPhone SE second gen. horrible battery drain issue after the iOS upgrade. Please fix is urgently
Battery issues for me as well. 14.4.2 was automatically installed overnight on my Iphone 7 and today I've noticed a significant problem with my battery life.
From 100% battery life at 9:00AM to 14% at 2:00PM with literally zero usage of the phone.

Same here. iPhone XS Max. Had no issues with 14.2 or 14.3, nor 14.4 that I can recall. 14.4.1 seemed a bit more draining... but I could still get 2 full days. Now with 14.4.2 I’m lucky to get a full day. Went from 42% at night before I went to bed, woke up with a dead phone. What gives????
iOS 14.4.2 on iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
This is definitely one of the worst updates from Apple.
Takes ages to charge the iPhone.
Once charged, the battery is dead within 2 to 3 hours.
0 rating out of 10 to Apple for this one!

Two to three charges per day. Sometimes I have a dead phone around noon with no usage at all. No idea what it is using all this power to do. Horrible power drain. Iphone se. was fine until the new iOS. Would get day and a half with usage. Cant be good for the battery to be draining so hard.
Since. 14.4.2 - my XR went from 80% to 10% with almost no use today. After charging to 98%, dropped to 50% in two hours with no use.
And me! 14.4.2 is draining my iPad mini, my SE 2nd gen and hubby’s SE 1st gen please can we have a fix ASAP this is dangerous, mobile contact is needed for elderly relative living alone. If there isn’t a new release at least provide a work around to improve battery consumption.
Same with Iphone 11 Promax, 14.4.2
Had to charge 2-3x a day now
Had to charge 2-3x a day now
Im have iphone 12 pro and i install 14.4.2 battery is terrible. Fast drain battery. Please Apple repair this terrible version.
Same here with my iPhone 11, just had a 15 minute phone call and went from 48% to 30%. I used to go an entire day with 30-40% still remaining on my battery. With the same usage I'm now lucky if I make it to 4 pm on one charge!
It seems to me that some interns code was added to the battery measurement app. When not charging, the battery gauge drops at a constant rate regardless of use. When charging, it goes up by a constate rate. If low power mode is disabled and not charging, the gauge dropping stops.
Regardless of my observations, the fact remains that the battery measurement app doesnt report the true charge of the battery

I have the same problem on my iPhone SE (purchased new just a half a year ago). The battery easily lasted the entire day before and now after the newest update (14.4.2), I’m lucky to get half a day without having to recharge....and I’m actually using the phone less. Really wish Apple would at least acknowledge there is a problem.
Same with me: iPad 2018. I’m charging that thing now AT LEAST once a day. My behavior hasn’t changed and I could easily go 2– days before.
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP!

A possible workaround is to enable low power mode. it seems to prevent the bad code that subtracts charge from the battery gauge regardless of use. However, the gauge may not reflect the actual charge since this bad code has corrupted the charge measurement. In the pic, you can see the charge in yellow remains about the same for over 8 hrs. Yellow is when low battery mode is on
I got my brand new iphone 12 mini yesterday and the battery is terrible. I am positive that this update is to blame because my iphone x had the same problem because of which I decided its time to get new one. Extremely disappointed with apple.
