After I have upgraded to iOS 14.8, the battery percentage of my iPhone 12 has fallen drastically from 96% to 94% in just a span of 2-3 days. This is terrible. Is it normal? I don't think it is normal. APPLE please help, before there were heating issues with my iPhone and when I asked apple to address my problem and replace my iPhone, they refused. PLEASE HELP APPLE !
iPhone 12, iOS 14
Hello,
Whenever a new version of iOS is installed, there are maintenance and indexing tasks that need to be performed and this will drain the battery. It should settle down in the few days. These are the standard steps for short battery life:
1) Have you tried a restart? If not, do it now.
2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.
3) Check “Battery Health” in the link:
iPhone Battery and Performance
4) See this for some charging tips: When to charge your iPhone or iPad

Good luck.
Mine went down even further. Before the update, my battery was in the mid 90% range, now it's 87% and says it needs to be replaced. Either I've experienced a sudden coincidental degradation of the battery just after update to iOS 14.8, or the update is causing a severe battery issue.
