Generally most of the smartphones still have problems as far as the battery is concerned, that's i think the only bad thing with smartphones especially iphones.

Battery life is excellent by the way.

I do some heavy texting, calling as well as email, web surfing and listening to music. Occasionally a short video. I can usually get a day and a half.
Seems like a rather generic post to dig up a thread that is about 9 months old and didn't really have much in it to begin with.
The battery on the 6+ is a non-issue for me and I would assume most others. Even with a heavy day I never come back home with less than 40%. I do not play games or watch movies, way too busy for that.
My iPhone 6 Plus battery life is amazing. I can use my phone all day and not have to worry charging it. This has not been my experience with former iPhones, especially the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 5 had better battery life, but it doesn't even come close to the iPhone 6 Plus.
Define your 5-6 hours on heavy usage. Playing games or even just keeping the screen activated for 5-6 hours at a time will hurt even the 6+.
If I stay indoors the majority of the time, I can squeeze something like 12-14 hours of browsing, texting, calling, and watching videos. I have auto brightness(indoors it makes screen around 30-50% bright), location services, and background app refresh on. Bluetooth is off. Outdoors, maybe something like 8 hours because I keep brightness at 100% or around that.
I usually just charge the phone before I sleep, unless the battery is over 90%, so I don't really care how long it lasts. I did care for a few weeks when I first got the phone (as it is customary for me with new phones) but after getting a sense of the battery life, I let it go.

Battery life has slowly gone down the tubes for me. Had 3 hours of usage earlier today, 39% left. Back to charging during the day. When I just got my 6 plus I went a full day without charging. Those days are long gone
By heavy usage, I mean basic tasks but with brightness up to 90-100%...so some safari browsing, YouTube videos etc. I don't play games on my phone. Even with these basic tasks I only get about 5 hours of usage. Ibackupbot says I have 3000mah so I guess battery is not defective
5-6 hours at 90-100% brightness is not normal use and you should expect less than what Apple advertises.
