6 Plus battery life: excellent

[haruhiko]

Since I turned off backgrounding on certain apps and killed Facebook, my battery doesn't want to die. Granted I haven't played games our steamed much video but this is still amazing.

Facebook detects your location all the time even when you're just reading other's posts. Disable location services and background app refresh for Facebook can save a lot of battery life.

No screen shot, but 4 1/2 hours of wifi streaming mp3 to a bluetooth stereo headset yield only 5% of battery power.

loving the battery on the 6+, what a beast, 1hr of usage and only down to 97% this morn:

 

[roland.g]

With 2% remaining:

Usage went to 13 hours 27 min
Standby 2 days 0 hours

 

[penajmz]

Beast for sure.

 

[utahman130]

I get around 10 hours of use. If I get rid of swarm, I'll probably get a lot more.

Plugged into my macbook for 10 minutes to sync music and movies but still, this battery is beast!

The battery on my 6+ is excellent. Have not yet drained the battery to 0 from a normal day's usage.

Just plugged in after being off charger since 7am, still puzzled by the amount of battery that Facebook uses. Is this typical or do I just use FB way too much?

Amazing. I would ensure you are restricting your location etc to the app. Or switch to the mobile webpage.

Very impressed

Well, my Facebook location services are set to While Using the App and today my Facebook battery usage is even worse than in the screen shot I posted. I do use Facebook a lot because I manage several pages, it's strange how much it actually uses though.

Facebook never knew how to write a good app. It has always been awful.

I'm at home on my wifi. The usage and standby with 98% of my battery left and brightness around 50% confuses the heck out of me.

Loving my battery life on my 6plus. Its still on 41% and theres plenty of more juice left in it.

My own experience:

 

[Phillybizzle]

Lol.

I see nothing like this. No idea why.

What app is this?

 

[aliensporebomb]

Normal!

What app is this?

It's called Normal.

I like it, it gives all kinds of facts about what apps are eating your battery alive and the like.

Oh Thank You.

This doesn't seem normal. I don't have background refresh on and turned off a lot of things. Does this seem normal. Unplugged at 9:15 and its 3:18 now

How does this stack up

Seems normal if you don't have auto-brightness enabled and you leave it cranked to max brightness. The backlight is the biggest killer of battery.

Normal to me. Again, auto-brightness is your friend, - or at the very least crank the brightness down some.

I have it off. Only have it half way. How does it only give me 4 hours or 5 hours of usage in half a day. I'm already in 22%
