iOS 14.7 and battery life
It is currently unknown whether the update also addresses problems with the battery life of iPhones. We will monitor the whole thing over the next few days and weeks and report accordingly. It is still unclear whether iOS 14.7 will be the last update before iOS 15. Apple may provide another version before iOS 15 is rolled out to all users in the fall of this year - preferably in September. Below you will find the update description in full.
