SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE ON IOS 14
Here are some settings that will help improve the battery life of your iPhone. If you have a small phone like the iPhone SE or the iPhone 12 Mini, it's even more interesting since their basic battery is lower.

The little annoying settings on a daily basis:

Activate the system's energy saving mode, an option provided by iOS 9. (Settings> Battery> Energy saving mode or directly in the control center)

Switch to dark mode on OLED screen iPhones: iPhone X / iPhone XS / iPhone 11 Pro / iPhone 12 / iPhone 12 Pro. (Settings> Brightness and display> Dark mode)
Also display a dark wallpaper on iPhones with OLED displays.

Activate optimized battery charging to preserve its performance over time with fast charging up to 80%. (See in Settings> Battery> Battery status> Optimized charging)
Activate low data mode to limit the work of the modem and therefore of the battery.
Delete unnecessary widgets, in the left column or on the home screen. Keep only the essentials.

Activate LTE mode if you have an iPhone 12 and already have very good speed, it consumes less than 5G. (Settings> Cellular data> Options).

Lower the automatic keylock to 1 minute (Settings> General> Auto keylock.)
Lower the screen brightness or leave it in automatic. (Settings> Brightness and display or from the Control Center)
Suppress the sound of keyboard keys. (Settings> Sounds and vibrations> Keyboard clicks)
Suppress the unlock sound. (Settings> Sounds and vibrations> Lock sound)
Deactivate the lighting of the screen when picking up. (Settings> Brightness and display> Sunrise to activate)
Disable automatic background updates. (Settings> App Store> Updates)
Disable apps that update in the background. (Settings -> General -> Background apps refresh)
Regularly check which apps are consuming the most over 24 hours or 7 hours. (Settings> General> Usage> Battery usage)
Some additional settings that can degrade the user experience:

Remove haptic feedback from the interface. (Settings> Sounds and vibrations> System vibrations)
Mute Siri permanently when you say "Hey Siri". (Settings> General> Siri> Voice activation)
Cut the GPS tracking of apps unless essential such as on Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. (Settings> Privacy> Location services)
Check the notifications of each application (including the Mail app): push mode is energy intensive.
