At the beginning of last week, Apple showed the world new versions of its operating systems, including iOS 14.6. He brought it with him interesting news and fixing various errors. As is usual, with the arrival of each update, its effect on battery life is addressed. That is why we already informed you about a week ago first tests, the results of which scared a lot of people. And as it turned out then, it happens now in practice as well. Community sites a apple forums is filled with various contributions from users who come across one and the same topic - reduced battery life.
This is what iOS 15 could look like (koncept):
Users are now sharing their experiences, where in many cases the drop in stamina is extremely noticeable. One apple seller using the iPhone 11 Pro in combination with the Smart Battery Case shared his story. He normally used his phone so that at the end of the day his phone battery was at 100%, while the case reported about 20% (after 15 hours). But now it was completely different. For the same time, the phone reports only 2% and the Battery Case 15%. Anyway, we have to admit one rather important thing. Battery age and capacity have a huge impact on battery life. So we can simply say that the older the battery, the worse the capacity and therefore the weaker the endurance per charge.
A slightly reduced endurance is a relatively normal phenomenon after the update. This is because there is a so-called reindexing of Spotlight and other operations that simply take some of the "juice". But this usually only lasts for a while, so after a few days everything should be back to normal. It has now been more than a week since the release of iOS 14.6, and user submissions clearly indicate that this update is responsible for the decreased endurance. Whether we will see a fix soon is unclear for now. Apple will either decide to release iOS 14.6.1, or solve the problem only with the arrival of iOS 14.7, which is currently in the beta testing phase. Have you noticed a decreased stamina as well, let us know in the comments?
Never. The hold on my iPhone is still great. 12 For Max
Last about 40 hours before the update. Standby mode for about 28 hours after the update. New battery, approx. 1 month since replacement in service. iPhone 6s
I wouldn't dig old excavations. I have an iP 7 and I just charge when I can. The phone won't last. But I don't think so. My friend has an iP11 Pro Max and she is fine. I'll buy a 13 Pro Max in the fall and I'll take hers and be at peace.
After updating to 14.6, I have worse battery life. My battery used to last and before I went to sleep I had about 30%. Now I have to recharge in the evening because my battery is at 10%. I hope they fix it in the next update. iPhoneX
