According to Apple’s release notes, the update provides an important security patch, which fixes two major vulnerabilities in the WebKit suite of applications that could allow hackers to penetrate users’ iPhones. iPhone battery life and overall device performance have taken a big hit since installing iOS 14.5. (Photo: TechnoSports) Apple recommends that users immediately update to iOS 14.5.1 as soon as possible. However, Apple seems to have rushed to roll out this update to fix those problems early, which leads to some new problems. Some users have reported that iPhone battery life and overall device performance have degraded significantly since installing iOS 14.5. (Photo: Internet) In a video posted on YouTube on May 5, YouTuber Nick Ackerman showed this problem. In a speed test between iPhone XR, iPhone 11 and iPhone 12, YouTuber Nick Ackerman found that iOS 14.5.1 reduced the performance of iPhone 12 and 11 by 60% through the test posted on YouTube. In the benchmark test using the 3DMark application, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11 both performed worse than the iPhone XR – an iPhone model that was released in 2018.

This puts users between two difficult choices, because if they choose to stay in iOS 14.5, users will be at risk of being hacked into their iPhone through a security hole. Meanwhile, if updating to iOS 14.5.1, users will be forced to accept many errors that arise after updating. (Photo: AR7 / Twitter) Luckily iOS 14.6 will bring a fix for this performance issue. The upcoming update is currently in beta, and as of now, the iOS 14.6 beta shows that the update won’t affect the device’s battery life. The official iOS 14.6 version will be rolling out to the community soon as Apple has now made beta versions of iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7 available to developers. Therefore, users should be aware of this important update in the coming days.

However, this update is causing many iPhone users to face more serious problems. Apple’s iOS 14.5.1 update received a bad response. According to users’ feedback, the iPhone after updating to iOS 14.5.1 often exits the application suddenly while in use, the applications also load longer, the response of the device is also slower. The iOS 14.5.1 update is also said to be the cause of the iPhone 12’s performance loss of up to 60% through a series of tests on the Geekbench measuring tool, the iPhone 12 (iOS 14.5) reached 1,583 single-core points and 3,967 multi-core points. kernel, while the corresponding scores of iPhone 12 (iOS 14.5.1) are 1,478 and 2,339. Similarly, the scores on the iPhone 11 (iOS 14.5) are 1,318 and 3,019, while the iPhone 11 (iOS 14.5.1) is 794 and 1,271. The performance scores of the iPhone XR (iOS 14.5.1) are 1,105 and 2,085, while the iPhone 7 (iOS 14.5.1) is 728 and 1,291. Performance is even worse than the “old” elder brother iPhone XR born in 2018.

In our testing, the iPhone 12 was the fastest app-loading iPhone in most cases, followed by the iPhone XR. The iPhone 11 is an end-to-end regular model. When Nick Ackerman opened Mortal Kombat, a heavy mobile game app, the iPhone XR suddenly opened the app faster than the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12.

Specifically, the iPhone 11 has a single-core score of 794 points, while the numbers of the iPhone XR and iPhone 12 are 1,103 and 1,478 respectively. In the multi-core test, iPhone 12 suddenly rose to the top position with 2,435 points. The iPhone 12 score was 2,339, while the iPhone 11 was only 1,271. Photo: Nick Ackerman According to iDropNews, there could be many reasons for this. Since iOS 14.5.1 has only just been released, it is likely that there are still minor flaws that affect the performance of the iPhone 11 and 12, while having a positive effect on the iPhone XR.

According to Apple’s release notes, the update provides an important security patch, which fixes two major vulnerabilities in the WebKit suite of apps that could allow hackers to break into a user’s iPhone. Apple recommends that users update immediately to iOS 14.5.1 as soon as possible.

Specifically, in a thread created by Reddit user LHG_93, this person complained about the battery life on his iPhone getting worse after updating iOS 14.5.1, even installing Resetting the device also couldn’t help. “Has anyone noticed that the battery life of the device is very poor after the iOS 14.5.1 update. Even reinstalling is not helping,” said LHG_93.

I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro”, according to member zangielv. “Using an iPhone 7 and also the same as the OP,” shared member PaulF1959. (Photo: iPadizate) “It’s hard to understand how, after 8 beta versions of 14.5 and then 14.5.1, battery drain continues to be an issue on iOS 14 … I also saw a lot of battery drain on iOS 14.5. first. I don’t understand why Apple didn’t fix this. My device isn’t even that old, it’s the iPhone XR. IOS versions 13.5-13.7 are better in terms of battery retention on the iPhone XR. After 8 beta versions, iOS 14.5 should have been much better, “said member xxGon. (Photo: ThinkApple) Not only was it complaining about battery drain, iOS 14.5.1 is also said to cause some iPhone models to have performance issues. Notably, this error seems to occur not only with older iPhone models such as iPhone 7, iPhone 11, … but also iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 are also believed to have a similar situation.
