“#App<\/a>le’s latest update is killing battery life: iPhone users<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

iPhone users who have installed Apple\u2019s latest software update, iOS 14.6, are complaining that it\u2019s draining their batteries \u2014 sometimes killing a full charge in mere hours.<\/p>\n

Apple customers slammed the company\u2019s\u00a0Community Forum<\/a>\u00a0and Twitter<\/a> this week with gripes about the May 24 update.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy battery life on iOS 14.6 is terrible\u2026 is it just me or anyone is experiencing this thing too??\u201d wrote <\/a>one user.<\/p>\n

Another chimed in, \u201cafter iOS 14.5 and 14.6 updates, my device has been awful. Mostly the battery life. But iOS 14 was a TOTAL TRAIN WRECK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many owners of older iPhone models complained about the update\u2019s destructive impact on battery life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is so bad that I can not work with the iPhone 7 for 2 hours and it runs out of charge,\u201d one said.<\/p>\n

But the issue is reportedly hitting even Apple\u2019s most recent iPhone models. \u201c14.6 is draining my iPhone 12 Pro battery\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026,\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n

Another agreed, \u201cyou are not alone. The ios 14.6 reduced drastically my iPhone 12 Pro battery life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on, Apple\u2014release a fix soon!!!!\u201d another used pleaded.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey @Apple the new iOS14.6 is DESTROYING my battery life. Not even 2.5 hours unplugged with light use and I\u2019m already at half battery,\u201d tweeted @MrClimaCool.<\/p>\n

\u201c@Apple your update to 14.6 is killing my battery. Glad to see you are once again forcing people to get new phones. Fix it. #Fail<\/a>,\u201d wrote @PearlJam2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI began having battery performance trouble after the 13.5.1 update last summer, and after the 14.6 update finally accepted that Apple doesn\u2019t intend to fix this issue for existing phones, and had the battery replaced. Nothing else I tried helped, but this seems to have worked,\u201d tweeted @AcqExp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apple responded on Twitter<\/a>, saying, \u201cWe can understand wanting more battery life and can assist with what you\u2019re seeing. Which model iPhone are you using? If you check Settings > Battery > Battery Health, what number is there? Let us know in DM, please, and we\u2019ll continue there.\u201d<\/p>\n

YouTube channel\u00a0iAppleBytes found \u201cterrible results\u201d in battery performance with the new update, and demonstrated the battery performance in a video test.<\/p>\n

Rather mindlessly ran the @Apple<\/a> iOS 14.6 update on iPhone this morning. Watch battery totally drained in 5hrs despite only function used was to track 30 minute indoor bike session. Belated search on any reported issues around update show battery drain is widespread \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n

The video shows seven iPhone models running iOS 14.6 as they lose battery power. Five die within five hours.<\/p>\n

Two of the earliest models tested, the iPhone SE and the iPhone 6S, died within three hours, while the iPhone SE2020 died in just over three hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the still worst battery result I have ever seen on my devices,\u201d iAppleBytes concluded at the end of the video, which was posted on May 24. \u201cYour experience may be different, but this is not something I have seen on a similar scale before. Fingers crossed for a quick iOS 14.6.1\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
