One more thing....my battery is draining fast now

I have been using iPhones since 2015 and installing updates over OTA has always caused issues and bugs, at least for me. The site, which I have been using for years, fetches updates directly from Apple, and iTunes does verify the update file which is signed by Apple. I am not sure if you thought that I used “external tools” meaning sth other than iTunes, but what I did is sth that consumes time but spares me from annoying bugs and unwanted issues.

+1 too. I usually use full package to install anyway. OTA is a miss always. Sometimes it fails halfway and needs full reset to use the phone. Might as well update via itunes or 3utools w/o data loss.

I am not installing the update. I am going to wait. Better safe than sorry.

Still on iOS 13.7.

It doesn't make sense doing this. Loading full update instead of OTA need more time and consume more power for no advantage.
Using external tools for important OS updates is also a lot higher attack surface

This should never be done over PC if not necessary.

It doesn't increase attack surface since iPhone by default disables access to PC unless you trust the PC. Moreover you can toggle USB accessories to off and use Itunes wifi sync as well.
They don't consume more power anyway. iOS updating is still like Android 4/5 a slight network issue needs re-downloading and simply wastes times in unpacking and verification. Sometimes you get stuck at White or black screen with Apple logo.

Installed on my iPhone 11 and wife’s 12 over the weekend, and no issues. I always install the ones with security notices ASAP.

Try long press power for ~30 seconds or until screen goes on

ah just charge the battery wait for 5-10mins to see if turn on power and the apple logo show up, there are some problem i would suggest a clean install it via iTunes instead of the update on the Phone...

I just updated my iPhone 6s plus yesterday. I've noticed that I can't connect to my wifi network at home. Has someone encountered a problem when updating to iOS 12.5.2?

What? iOS 14 support iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s plus and above..

 

[Gilbert2020]

Sorry, it's iPhone 6+

Nice. Hope its not planned obsolescence say Apple wants you off 6+ for SE2020. Observed it on iOS 14.0 update on iphone 7 and had to rollback quickly and setup afresh to save the device.

Have you tried 3utools? It can recover things by dirty flashing new iOS update. Make sure Erase Data is un-checked.
Also, check if you're able to see things on LCD screen by using a flashlight, if so LCD cable might have dislodged or might need display replaced.

You don't have any backup?
Not even in iCloud?

I have replaced the battery yesterday at the iPhone repair shop. But unfortunately, it's the same problem. Still, the battery was draining fast and I've noticed that the back of the phone is always hot.

I already backup the data from the phone using dr. fone software. I'm planning to go back to the iPhone repair shop and have the phone reset back to factory default.

Damn that su*ks, good luck....

Disable Siri and disallow access to Siri when locked. Replace it with Google. It stopped battery drain on ios 13.x and its a bummer since this atrocious drain was absent in iOS12. Even some iCloud backed apps causes huge battery drain even with LTE and no wifi, seems strange. So, when I connect to wifi, it gets stuck at 55% and never proceeds further.
EDIT: Try disabling back-tap gesture on iOS14.

You can recover it at home using 3uTools by downloading correct variant and model number. Be careful while flashing different baseband ROMs/IPSW since it can render your modem inoperable.

Frankly, I have no problem before until I updated it to the newer iOS. I have no plan of getting a new phone since the one that I have is still usable. Thank you.
