I’m feel so lucky because my battery for my 14 pro has been so much better than my 12 pro.
I usually take my phone off the charger at 6:00am and when it was my 12 pro, my battery would be at 40% by 10am. With my 14 pro, I’m at 80% or higher depending on what I’m doing.

Using outlook here rather than the regular stock mail client. I have wondered about if outlook is a problem. I probably get 200 push emails a day. But this has always been the case for me. Maybe I’ll dump outlook.
It could be another bugged app. I was able to tell which app by the power draw difference from a killa watt meter I have. When the phone was working correctly it would only pull .3-.5 watts from the outlet (at 100% battery), and when it was draining it was pulling 1.4-1.8 at idle. So my issue was pretty extreme.
I really wouldn't get too excited. My phone is not any better. It's still dropping fairly regularly.
I'm going back to my 13PM but will probably be obsessing over the battery on that now after this!
Will keep the 14PM in a drawer for a few days and see how I get on.. if the 13PM all of a sudden seems like it's running down, I'll know it's a software issue and then I'll just revert. But for now, reluctantly, the new phone goes in the drawer in its box
Just an update 84% to 52% and 3hr:45min SOT. that’s browsing, YouTube, instagram. I would give the latest beta a try if nothing else.

You tube and instagram are fine but what matters to me is lots of push email, iMessage and phone calls. That said those are good numbers.
You have to wonder why that didn't happen with all his other iPhone upgrades on the first day then if that's the case. He said this is the first time it's done this.
I e had my 14pro for almost a week and I’m having the same issue. I’m not a heavy user and even the phone idle it lost 10%. I resorted from a backup gave it a couple days bc I know usually the first few days it’s normal and it should balance out. But not so much. I erased it and set up as new. Made sure always on is off. Background app off, notifications minimal, auto lock low, brightness etc. anything you can think of I did it. Still having the same issue. Even now thing this reply just lost about 3%! Never experienced this before. Just to note I’m coming from a 12 pro and NEVER had this issue. The other day left for work at 100% an hour later I was at 90%. Idle. Idk what to do. Maybe I need to get this exchanged
Last update, for about 75% battery I got exactly 7.5 hours of screen time. That was with hotspot tethering to my iPad for maybe the last 4 hours. Battery life seems to be corrected.

i see, how do u count ur screen on time? do u like click on every hour and add up all the sot per hr from the time u plug out ur phone on the graph?
It always happens any time you restore from backup. Has nothing to do with which iPhone model it is.
My 14pm wasn’t doing great so I just gave in and DFU restored to 16.0.1 (before 0.2 came out) and set up the phone as brand new and yesterday worked from 8am-7:30pm with 4 hours of screen on time with social media, reading, and video streaming, and got home with 59% left. Connected to my airpods, mainly on WiFi at the office with cellular during commute and lunchtime. More or less in line with my 13pm now, AOD; I left the phone plugged in after the restore until photo processing was totally done.
