In recent weeks we are witnessing how many users, no matter how much they try to save battery on the iPhone, are unable to do so because of the diminished autonomy. And all this after having updated to iOS 14.6 several weeks ago. Obviously this is not something normal and especially in relatively new devices and in an advanced version of software that should precisely optimize performance to the maximum. If you are in that situation, keep reading because you will be interested in knowing how to solve it.
Where is the origin of this new failure?
Although battery problems are usually more or less a common complaint, the truth is that except in the first versions of an iOS (iOS 12, iOS 13, iOS 14) we do not usually find widespread problems in this regard. However, since iOS 14.6 was officially launched on May 24, we have seen how it seems to be a fairly widespread problem. Our newsroom has received reports from many users who claim that the battery lasts less , but also that the health of the battery has dropped suddenly . Without going any further, this humble server is a victim of this problem on its iPhone 12.
The funny thing is that the main complaints are from iPhone 11 users . Even the battery life of some iPhone 12s seems to be suffering as well. It is more curious if we take into account that the iPhone 11 brought with iOS 14.5 a battery calibration option within the settings in order to solve its problems, although we already see how in the next update it seems to have been of little use to some. In any case, it must be said that these failures are also being experienced in iPhone from previous generations to these.
We insist on emphasizing that these problems are not affecting absolutely all teams and that if in your case you are not suffering from it, you do not have to be affected. So if you are on iOS 14.5 it would be recommended that you stay on that version waiting for an even newer one to arrive and solve this problem.
What you can do to fix it
The most expected is that iOS 14.7 fixed the problems. In fact, we know that in the current beta versions there is no such problem. But if you can’t wait, you can make a desperate attempt at restoring the system without backup . It is also recommended that it be a complete format of the iPhone, for which a computer (Mac or Windows) is required.
Another option that you have left is to go to the technical service to verify if it is a specific failure of the current software version or if your battery was really worn out or with some type of factory defect. In these cases the replacement would be free, but in case you do not meet the requirements you will have to pay 75 euros if it is an iPhone X or later, the price being 55 euros for the iPhone 8 and earlier (the iPhone is also included in this price Second generation SE).
