On my iPhone 12 Pro it was fixed with iOS14.3 . My test iPhone SE with beta 1 of iOS 14.4 lost 12% in the last 22 hours in standby, since i installed the beta.

I think i may have to get off this beta. And go back to a previous build. Cause i have the 12 Pro Max. And all my apps crash. Or freeze up. ?‍♂️

Try fresh DFU restore of beta with IPSW. See if that helps. If not, go back to previous build. Chances are a fresh DFU install will resolve your issues.

My SE2020 never had this over nite drain problem. So I don’t subscribe to it being rampant throughout the product line. Or even consistent.

I faced a problem 7 years ago that has not been solved yet. I use Icloud mail, and I don't get push notifications. I rebooted my phone, logged out and logged in to my Apple ID, and turned off syncing and push. Support from senior specialists does not help. They promise a callback and everything is useless. Until I log in to the mail app and pull the screen down to update, new emails won't load.

Have you checked the notification settings for the Mail?

Since installing 14.4 (12 ProMax) - I have been experiencing voice cut-outs in Facetime. The receiving party has been letting me know my voice will cutout in chunks. Did not experience this on 14.3x

Did some testing with the 11 ProMax and Facetime and had no problems on 14.3.

Reported via Feedback.

After using for a day and doing some basic testing...

12 ProMax - Things noticeable / Observed as I went through apps and screens

Widgets:
- Widgets are pretty much static and at times the displayed data will be incorrect - ex: Stocks with red graph and green numbers
- Weather still is frequently incorrect in comparison to the app

Messages:
- reading a text on one device does not always clear the badge on another device
- Android SMS/MMS will not always forward to IPP 11
- Notifications are better but not 100%
- Custom ringtones do not properly play through the Apple Watch and default to default tone

Mail:
- Badge count vs actual count vs individual account count (Unread) do not always add up. Totals are sometimes off even after manual refresh. iCloud Mail is still the biggest boo-boo maker

App Library:
- Apps in the Recently Added folder before and after 14.4b1 install changed. I only expected Feedback to be a new add.
- The Big 3 in each folder are not always the most commonly used
- Suggestions still makes little sense at times

Screen:
- Slow scrolling shows a stutter at times. Expect it might be due to the low refresh rate

Camera:
- Something changed with RAW. There was a very noticeable difference between RAW and stock shots in 14.3, the difference is much less noticeable in 14.4.
- Significant reflection in low light and LED light especially at 2.5. Think this is mechanical; camera construction

Apps:
- everything I have tried so far has worked.
- noticing a dimming if playing a game (HD) or watching HD video after 10-15 minutes or so. The device is warm at that point. Temp dimming?

WiFI:
- Ran into an issue with maintaining good wifi signal reception. Have some more checking to do.

Facetime:
- running into a mic issue where my voice is cutting out in chunks. did not experience this with 14.3

Charging:
Still using my Anker wireless charging stands and they are working great.

Will post for the IPP 11 later....
More to come as I find it. Pretty much the same as 14.3 ... mostly.

Anyone on 14.4 Beta notice that when you go into a message thread to txt someone the keyboard and app tray at the bottom will flash and then show up b4 you start typing? Still happening on 14.3 and was curious to know if this is still happening on 14.4. Doesn’t happen every time, but happens often and not sure why it’s on and off. Thanks!

No, I meant this. If you just add an account the notifications don’t show. For some reason it has to be manually enabled. Make sure you have all three.

Presumably, you reported all of this. What a list!

On 12 Pro Max 14.4b1 seems a bit laggy sometimes (aside from not fixed minimizing lags).
Also found strange behaviour with couple of rythm-games (BanG Dream and Project Sekai) when under Guided Access there are 2-3 seconds of low FPS after loading music track and then again smooth (From 14.2 to 14.3RC2 there was always smooth).
