Hi,

Has anyone else noticed battery drain since upgrading to iOS 14.4? I have an iPhone XS Max, and ever since upgrading to iOS 14.4, my battery life has been pretty poor. I already restored my phone and set it up as new, but that did not resolve the issue. My battery health is at 91%.

Thank you in advance.
 
yes a little.
my suspicion is that the photos app is still working in the background building its For You album - which its only supposed to be doing when the phone is plugged in and locked. just a guess

Even though it's now March 5th and it's been out since January 26th?
 
12 pro max !4.4, battery life rock solid, best in the industry, easily hit 10-11 hours on wifi, if I can use the phone for that long long. 😂

Never had to charge my phone twice in one day.
 
I went to sleep yesterday with around 41% and put the iphone 12 Pro into airplane mode. We I woke up it was at 9%. Then I did a hard reset and it was at 5%. battery status said no app usage over the night but the last app status reported Siri with on the topic the usage but with just 2 min of use ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something is definitely buggy with iOS 14.4. Hopefully 14.5 resolves this issue.
