Easy, they wouldn’t have to. The app developers would do that by not writing code and support for the older iOS.
I’d have stayed on 12 but the security app for work stopped being supported for 12. Had to go to 13.

Exactly
Even if they can’t fix it they should at least admit it. You know they will never admit fault though, or allow compensation. Maybe they’ll do another battery offer at a discounted rate!

I put 14.2 beta on it last night. No improvement. Sitting idle on a desk for an hour it dropped 7%. Shows 1 minute of usage for Home & Lock screen. That was when I picked it up, tapped the sleep button to see what time it was, then put it back to sleep.
Pitiful.
Been on 14 since release. Haven't noticed a drop in battery life. Then again, I didn't have that issue with any of the previous phones with the exception of my 6S which had the faulty battery that was replaced under recall.
Generally the phone can go all night playing music, and goes probably two days without a charge if I want to stretch.
But honestly, I never do stretch it out. I charge it in the car on the way to/from work. So its on the USB charger for about 40 minutes a day. The car's USB port is SLOW at charging the phone. I usually supplement by plugging in at work if I need it.
Battery health is at 85%, phone is 3 years old. Plan to keep it until its unusable. I like the cheaper phone plan cause there is no device payment on it.

So how has iOS 14 been treating everyone?
I opened an Apple support case a month ago and they are still dragging their feet in determining the problem.

Perfectly fine for me. Been on 14.2 now or whatever the latest one is without issues. What issue are you having?
Battery drain, severe battery drain. Like, just waking up the phone will drop the battery 1%.
It’s seen all releases and public betas. Just gets worse.
Have submitted 50+ screen captures to Apple showing how bad it is. Just running their diagnostics dropped it 17%.
My wife's old phone had severe battery issues. We eventually just upgraded her phone and gave the old one to my daughter. I bought a new battery for it and installed it and it's been really damn good.
There was a class action against Apple for purposely limiting/hindering the phone/battery and the deadline was just last month. I know for a while they allowed customers who were experiencing the problems to take it to an Apple store and get a free battery replacement.

Jesus you’re still fucking around with this thing? Clearly having a reliable phone is important to you and it’s obviously bothering you enough to do all sorts of analysis on the problem. Just bite the bullet and buy a new phone. The one you have is a 6 year old model. It might as well be an abacus. Your life will be so much better. Just get an iPhone 12 mini if you’re concerned with the price
Just so you know, not that it’ll likely make a difference to you, is that if Apple would just admit there is a problem and work with its customers to get them into a new(er) device I would buy a new one. Now it’s become a matter of principle.
In the meantime I used the funds to upgrade my moms flip phone to a smart phone, so she could be better connected to her family.
My iPhone 11 is working great on 13.6.1. I’m afraid to update to 14 what ever it is. My battery lasts two days before I need to recharge it. Phone is rock solid.
There’s no real pattern either. Neighbor got three iPhone 11 Pro’s for him, his wife, and his daughter. All on 14. His battery life took a massive hit, his wife’s didn’t change, and his daughter’s took a mild hit.
