Just sorted out some history got the conclusion we are gonna get some noticeable improvement in battery life for the first time for a long time.

iPhone 6: 10-20% increase
iPhone 6 Plus: 30-50% increase

My choice is iPhone 6 Plus Space Grey 64G, the battery increase is definitely a major aspect.

Interesting. IMO this is the main reason people are opting for the plus, it has significant battery life upgrade over 5s, whereas the 6 doesn't really. Even if they are slightly worried about the vast jump in size, the battery has long been an issue and 50% more is welcome!!

Charging every two nights is not a dream anymore!

To be fair I get by with the life on the 5s, as I charge in the 40 minute car journey to/from work! But the increase will be great for weekends

----------

It will also be interesting to see how long it takes to charge the new bigger battery in the plus. Hope it's not 4 hours or something!
