Thanks, PhillyGuy! I especially liked the fact that it says I've got 17.34PB of Health data right below where it cites to my 64G of total storage

Yeah, my battery life got so bad it’s almost making my phone unusable. And my phone is getting HOT. No change in usage or settings, just the update.
I have to say, I had the health app issue where it was taking upbpetabyes of storage. It wouldn’t even open the app or sync my workouts with the fitness app. It was also causing lots of battery drain.
this morning I restored my phone, set it up as new, reinstalled my apps and holy smokes the battery is draining MUCH less than and I don’t see the battery level dropping as much!

Yeah my 7 was on the charger all night and I woke up to a hot phone and then immediately went back to 13.7. Not normal at all I’ve never had that happen in all my years of updates.
"soap box"? get off your need to offend. We all see merit in different things. There's no reason to put anyone down... (or try to at least)
You assume too much... I didn't use my iPhone SE in a year, had it in it's box. A reset did the trick. Maybe some background things had to happen.
aww.... it was the "fanbois" bit I bet huh? hahaha 🤣
edit: oh and btw, my issue with replacing the battery is being without a phone all those days I have to send it in (granted I have no idea how many, and how many with the pandemic... but even 2 or 1 is too much...) So I'd rather make it last as long as possible... and I've been doing a good job, generally
For anyone running into battery issues, I reset all settings and it seems to have drastically improved my battery life on iOS 14.2 beta 1. My 11 Pro has been off charger for 15 hours with 2 hours of screen on, 45 minutes background and I'm at 87% battery. This is even better than what I had on iOS 13.6. With 2 hours of screen on usage, iOS 14.0 dropped to 66% and iOS 14.2 dropped to 75%.
1. Sign out of iCloud
2. Wait a few minutes, then restart your phone.
3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
4. Sign back in to iCloud.
Keep in mind: resetting will keep your data, but you'll have to redo a few things such as Touch/Face ID, notification & location preferences, and Apple Pay.
It's only been 1 day since I reset all settings, but it seems promising so far.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll stick with 13.7 on my devices until this is all sorted out. I wasn’t even thinking of going to 14 until they went through the minor Updates that they do after the major release.
How long have you been using the phone with the original battery? Divide those number of months with the cost of a battery replacement. How much is it? Also keep in mind that the phone has to be opened with all the delicate parts and ribbons inside. And then water resistance is reapplied. if They make a mistake or break something they will give you a brand new phone. It’s not outrageous. You just haven’t put any thought into it
And so... you were entirely wrong. Sorry to say. But thanks for trying to help out, even if it was in anger and hatred.
Don't worry, you're not the first type of person like this I've ran into in these forums.probably not helpful and just one data point, but i thought i'd chime in. after reading all of these widely vary anecodotes, i was a little anxious about upgrading to 14.0, but decided to trying it out thinking if i did it fast enough and had problems, i could revert back to 13.7 if it was miserable battery life before Apple stopped signing 13.7
well, for my 11 Pro, so far, there has not noticeable change in performance. and most interestingly, i didn't notice any real indexing or major battery hit after the upgrade. i have my 256gb 11 Pro about 160gb full, so this was a bit surprising.
after upgrading yesterday, i went to bed with it at 88% and it dropped to 83% after sitting on my counter for 9 hours. that was similar to what i experienced in ios13.
so far today, with normal use, i have seen what is roughly comparable drain using the phone normally. i'm now down to 69% after about an hour of screen time this morning including reconfiguring my home screen and playing with widgets.
i continue to find that battery issues or lack of them after updates are hit and miss for people. i myself have had the bad experiences people have shared here in other iOS updates. it's maddening how inconsistent these are and how some of them aren't even solvable with a new phone set up. i wish those with troubles the best of luck with their issues.
Aside: i got this 11 pro in march with 13.3. i would say that and 13.3.1 gave me the best battery life. i have had a noticeable by tolerable decrease in battery longevity in moving up to 13.7 (and the steps along the way)...not a earth shattering drop, but i would guess at least a 10-20% drop in endurance in the span of those updates. for me, 14.0 seems comparable to 13.7 but that's of course with less than 24 hours of experience with 14.0 so take that with a grain of salt.

After a hard reset the battery usage is back to "normal" and still going pretty strong.
SE2016 battery health 87% with 406 cycle count.

Same here, iPhone 7 plus and the battery drains really fast!20 to 30% per hour and even without using it that much,just on twitter.If i play a game and listen to music while playing or twitter and music it goes down 1% per minute!At night it goes down around 15 to 20%!Its just crazy!
Indeed, the other alternative is to simply wait for the rumored iOS 14.2 update, and do that process using the Finder/iTunes. That will ensure that you use the full IPSW installation file. I expect that 14.2 will drop around the same time that Apple makes the iPhone announcement, if a bug patch doesn't get released sooner. iOS 14.0's release schedule was driven by the iPad Air and Apple Watch announcements. That, coupled with the final beta iOS 14.0 not coming out until the day before the release version of iOS 14.0, I fully expected that this release might be somewhat rocky. Still, from what I've read, it also seems that iOS 14.0 is less buggy than iOS 13.0.
I'm hoping for a more stable version of iOS 14 to come out soon, because I'm having issues with cellular reception with iOS 13.7. For whatever reason, in some areas my data speed is less than 0.1 Mbps even if the indicator shows 2 or even 4 bars of LTE signal.
I was actually hoping a patch would have been released today...MAYBE by the end of this week.
Haven't installed 14 yet, just waiting for - hopefully - something more stable, fix the battery, other bugs before I dive into this new OS.
looks like ton of background activity for music. are you playing music all of those hours? have you tried force quitting the Music app and/or rebooting the phone. looks like a runaway background process for that and potentially the other apps (if you flip between percentage and usage, you can see how many minutes/hours the apps are running in the background)
Well, I resolve this easy. Downgrade.
I contacted Apple Support, and they ran a test and all that. Expend near 3hrs with all that and the only suggestion I got, was restore with Finder. They told me my phone has 30 cycles (in 45 days) and that's "ok" for a 1% less of battery health... that's the raw version, because they were very polite: oh, you got 30 cycles, all it's okey...
But I downloaded the 13.7 and 14 just in case, and then the Sunday night I disconnect the phone at 91% and go to bed.
When I woke up, the phone was a 50%, thing I didn't understood since I closed all apps to see what's going to happen. I needed to plug more or less at 10am... useless.
So I return to 13.7 and it's better... since it's indexing and all that. I will wait until 14.3... Hahaha, for real... so horrible... the SE2 has a small battery and this was very surprising.
I am a long term Apple user and until now I’d never experienced battery problems with iOS updates beyond the first 24/48 hours of use.
My phone (SE1) and, to a lesser extent, my watch (S4) are discharging much faster than ever before.
iOS14 and WatchOS7 are great updates, but I would recommend waiting for a dot release before taking the plunge, if you haven’t yet.
