Worth noting that a lot of people, if not everyone is having overheating and battery issues with iOS16, which I’m 90% sure is the culprit.

> The iOS diagnostics say my battery health is 100%. Maybe 5G/5G UWB is draining it? I didn’t have that with the 8+.

Well of course diagnostics is going to say your battery health is 100%, lol your brand new 14 is what, not even a month old?

I’d say 5G would be draining battery.

Yes you’re correct, these 14 pro models are insanely susceptible to high 5G battery drain, at least on this version of iOS. I would recommend everyone turn their 5G off for the time being if they care about long battery life. When I turned LTE on, I went from getting like 7 hours of SOT to now getting about 12 hours SOT. Insane difference.

Yes it is. I don’t know what’s causing the 14’s to not be able to handle 5G without massive battery drain but just TURN THE 5G OFF!!!
