14.6 has been out for almost two weeks. Vote and feel free to comment on your experiences!

My 11 Pro's battery life pretty much went to crap but everything else works in my daily routine.

I slacked on 14.5's poll, if you want to add any votes/comments feel free 14.5.x Poll

Great on my devices. No issues with battery - iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro 11 2021, iPad mini 5. All working great.

I updated my 6s from 12.4.1 to 14.6 and it's frankly amazing. It's the first time I've upgraded a major version and not regretted it.

Battery lasts about the same amount of time. 91% health.
Performance is very good. Everything that uses the web renderer seems to be considerably faster. Unlocking is slightly slower, though.

I'm a proponent of IIABDFI (If It Ain't Broke...) and it seems that with each 'feature' or bell & whistle Apple adds to iPhone, they then manage to create a new problem.

They once made a point of saying they were going to build one iOS update that was intended to clean up all of the outstanding issues. Ditto MacOS. I don't know if that ever happened - I suspect they probably caved to the fan base who insisted on something 'Squirrel!' and sparkly rather than do housekeeping.

Battery an ongoing saga with iPhone and Apple. And replacing the battery an expensive and temporary fix if the the issue lies elsewhere.

iOS is doing great on iPhone 11 Pro Max

As long as my battery with the iPhone Smart battery case goes great for the day Im fine. Still exceeds my expectations.

They say that updates don't affect the battery, but my iphoneX battery collapsed.
3 days post update, I was getting through the day. 7 days later, the battery charge goes from 100% to zero in 3 hours of idling...no use.
 
Pretty good so far, iPhone 12 Pro

It's good but there's still the bug that makes the camera stop working until you restart the device. Out of all my iPhones it's occurring only on XS. So it's good but not great.

iphone 11, battery life is fine. Call quality is not good, and notifications and LTE signal are terrible. My 150 dollar samsung tablet gets better signal reception than my iphone 11.

I have this incredibly annoying and game breaking issue where various notifications don‘t come through… then a few days later my phone explodes for a few minutes cause I get a dozen old notifications coming in.

Restart doesn‘t fix or help, I even miss out on a lot of WhatsApp notifications…
I guess that warrants hopping on iOS 15 right away.

I had the same problem back in the days of iOS 6. I did a few resets of all settings, network settings, turning it on and off a few times, a few resets more and it suddenly was ok. It was a long time ago so I cannot be more specific but I remember I didn’t have to restore it.
