I turned off VPN and AccuWeather on my 12 Pro and now I get about two days if not more on my battery with 14.4
With trepidation, I upgraded my 2016 SE from 13.notthelast to 14.4. I then let it charge to 100%. It took six days and a few hours to drop to 17%. During those six days, I ordered take-out via an app once, photographed a car that crashed around the corner, had one incoming spam phone call blocked (silenced), received ~20 texts and sent two or three, and checked settings several times. The upgrade had turned on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and I didn't notice right away - perhaps I could have eeked out a little more battery if they were off the entire time.
TLDR summary: I'm having decent battery life with 14.4 on a 2016 SE.

This makes me wonder what makes yours (and a few others) situation different than the rest of us who experience the lag/animation stuttering. Do you use widgets at all?
Yes, widgets I'm running include: Fantastical, Carrot Weather, Photos, Widgetsmith
Do you use dark mode exclusively or a mix? I ask because the stutter is virtually gone when dark mode is on For me.
Use both. I haven't had the stutter in dark mode or light mode.
Probably bc there’s no apps to be updated. Thought it only appears when apps/dev push an update, is how it works. Can also try “pull down to refresh”. If nothing comes up. Then there’s no updates for apps.
Seeing the same here. It's strange, because the Update/Open button is available on prior updates, along with the version information, date the app was updated, and the package size.
The thing is, there’s still an open button there after apps have updated. I have it, this person doesn’t for some reason.
edit: just noticed in my own screenshot that the button is missing from Chime, and only Chime. Odd but not a big deal for me. Also I’m on 14.5, not 14.4

I am experiencing lag or delay in some apps like WhatsApp, maybe a connectivity issue. While open in the background, if I enter the app, the new messages do not display instantly, there is a small lag until they appear. Does this happen to anyone else? (iPhone 12)
The number of lines settings will not change the notifications already displayed.
It will only change the future notifications.
Thanks for that suggestion. I have sent new messages after changing Settings>Mail>(MESSAGE LIST)Preview to none and 1 and the notifications still show 5 lines. This setting seems to affect the number of lines displayed in Mail's Inbox message list. I thought that the preview setting would affect how many lines of the message are displayed on the locked screen or banners when they appear. Am I mistaken about this? Is there some other setting that will limit the number of lines on mail notifications?
You are dead correct on that.
I missed mentioning that. Apologies.
The settings affect only the preview of number of lines in Inbox. There is no setting available to change number of lines shown on Lock Screen and Notification Centre.
This I had discussed some time last year with Support. So can confirm.
No apology necessary! Thanks for confirming what I suspected — now I can stop beating my head against that wall.
