iPhone 11 Mac Pro finally finished recalibration. Still says 96%, whew!
Following the release of iOS and iPadOS 14.6 last week, some users have taken to social media and online forums to note that their devices have been experiencing excessive battery drain since installing the software updates.
The Apple Support Community and MacRumors forums are riddled with posts from users stating their device now drains faster following the update. One user on the Apple support forums notes their experience with their iPhone 11 Pro and Apple Smart Cover draining faster than normal following the update:
It is worth noting that many factors contribute to a device's battery life, including its battery health. Users with degraded batteries can expect shorter battery life. According to the forums, however, the issue seems to be impacting all devices, regardless of specific battery health.
On the MacRumors forums, one user notes that their iPhone 12 Pro not only drained faster than normal but also began to overheat while simply browsing Safari. An accompanying post recalls a similar experience with an iPhone 12 mini:
With iOS 14.5, Apple introduced a new battery health recalibration feature for iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The new feature allows the system to recalibrate the battery health of the device in order to address possibly inaccurate battery health readings. Following the update released last month, users have noticed that their iPhone 11 battery health has changed following the recalibration process.
After any iOS update, users can expect normal battery drain in the days following due to the system reindexing Spotlight and conducting other housekeeping tasks. However, iOS 14.6 was released more than a week ago, and users continue to note the battery drain on their devices. If the issue is indeed software related, Apple may decide to address it in a subsequent update to iOS 14.6 or provide a patch in iOS 14.7, currently in beta testing.

Another article said it’s the podcast app causing it after the update and said to delete it. This is bs I thought apple was all about a green earth and stopping global warming. They pulled this bs with older devices and got sued for it. Been a month now if this **** keeps going on I’m returning this pos iPhone 12 max pile of junk.

I don't have this app. My iPhone doesn't heat up either. It actually heated up only once, right after the iOS 14.6 update and browsing this forum. It never happened again. But I realize that he's spending more battery for no reason. Let's say the device is consuming twice as much battery.
So your phone is using twice as much battery? I hardly use my phone and it’s dying never getting a iPhone again after this. Before my battery lasted a week now it’s 2 days.
iPhone 11 on 14.0.1 here. Such similar issue happens with me. Phone would become warmer than usual whole browsing on safari. And it won’t cool down unless I turn on airplane mode. These bugs plaguing the iPhones are certainly not expected on this expensive devices.
For me the solution has been using orher broswers such as Edge and Duckduck go that block the trackers, specially in some sites like these forums, my phone used to get quite warm after a few minutes of just browsing, but using those browsers that have stronger tracker prevention I have regained the trust of my iPhone not getting hot by doing menial stuff. Safari is a little poor to prevent abusive trackers from running like crazy.
Update your iPhone to the latest iOS. Apple fixed it.
