I noticed both 14.5 and 14.5.1 have inconsistent general performance when just doing basic things like opening apps and scrolling. Benchmarks are normal though even if I run them back to back. iPhone 11 Pro and iPad Air 4

My X is showing usual score on Geekbench5 (listed as above average for my model) and performance hasn't changed.. My Air2 is showing above average on Geekbench5 and performing normally also..

Well, when I play NBA2k Mobile, the frame rates drop sometimes. It is usually the battery, though. Also, it's also on my ridiculously slow Spectrum WiFi, in which they brag about being fast.

Jumped from ~880 single core to 1500 and ~2500 multi to 4000 on a 12 PM after I upgraded from 14.5.1 to 14.6b2. Something is definitely funky with 14.5.1 and I immediately could tell after upgrading from 14.5.
If the performance drops a bit, the battery goes up again, the 14.6 beta 2 is more efficient, the battery life is reduced, what should be done, kaka

Ran Geekbench iOS 14.5.1 on iPhone 12 Pro Max. Had multi core issues and hard reset did the trick.

iPhone 11 is running like normal here. Ran a standard OTA update and haven't restarted the device since.

Updated from iOS 14.5 yesterday to iOS 14.5.1 on my iPhone 11. After the update finished, I was playing CODM and noticed the frame rates were horrible. I checked my settings to make that it was set to the max frame rate, which it was. I then ran a geekbench test, and the scores I got were horrible for the multi-core. I then rebooted my phone to no avail; it was still super slow in games and in opening apps. I then proceeded to do a clean install which seems to have fixed the issue. Now my geekbench score is normal, and performance is what it used to be. What is going on, Apple? Anyone else having this issue? Upload a screenshot of your geekbench score on iOS 14.5.1 and tell us what device you have.
I’m not a gamer but my X was sluggish after updating to 14.5. I’m on 14.6 beta and all is well now.

iPhone 11 Pro, can confirm. Had sluggish performance in many high-performance apps. A force reboot fixed the issue for now.

I’ve noticed my iPhone 12 Pro Max is getting extremely hot around the volume and camera when watching videos for just a few minutes. Wasn’t having that issue prior to update.
Last week (Tuesday 27 April) I updated to 14.5 on my 12 Pro Max.

A couple of hours later I tried the Apple ‘Clips’ app. I tried the mode where your iPhone uses the LiDAR Scanner to scan the room and add visual effects.

After a few minutes the iPhone got so hot that I received this warning message.

I couldn’t use the iPhone for a couple of minutes and I just left it to cool down. Now I’m on 14.5.1 and don’t have any problems at all.

Could all problems be occurring within the first few hours of doing the update?

Mmmmhhh....
I don't remember my previous benchmarks.
I seem to have lower multi-core performance than average though.

I'm planning on switching to an iPhone 12 Pro later this year, but I'd be a little annoyed if I had to experience lower performance during these months.
