6 Plus battery life: excellent

[lakaiordie]

they really should of included the 12w brick that the iPads use considering how long it takes to charge on the 5w.

 

[MandevilleMike]

I purchased 12Watt bricks so hopefully it will charge it faster.

 

[MichaelColley]

Wouldnt that damage the device?

 

[MandevilleMike]

No

 

[MichaelColley]

Im gunna keep the 5w charger... I dont wana over charge my battery or ruin the lifespan

on apples' site if you look up the 12w power adapter it lists everything its compatible with. and all the iPhones are listed. So if this is on apples site then there are no issues or worries about damaging it.

Batteries still last longer if you trickle charge them.

What is that?

I'm pretty sure its the phones software that determines when that starts, usually when you're getting close to 90-100%

6/6+ come with the fast charge capability right? So the iPad charger shouldn't harm the 6/6+. I think the amp is what matters right?

Absolutely. I'm just trying to say that the faster you charge them, the quicker they will deteriorate. It's perfectly safe but shortens the lifespan.

this is true because it generates a little more heat while charging. but i doubt you'd notice the difference unless you set up some controlled test and that would take a long time.

Agreed. If the batteries were easily replaced and genuine units easily sourced, I wouldn't hesitate to use an iPad charger. As things stand, I'll suffer the 3 hour cycle.

Let me ask this. My 6 goes to 80% quickly then creeps to 100%. is the 6+ like that too and if so how long to get to 80%?

If I remember correctly iPhones get to 80% in an hour (6+ might take longer) or so then the rest of the time it's slow charging to 100%.

Maybe it's the lack of multi-tasking and only being able to have one app open at a time...

That isnt it, multitasking speed is just as equally fast on both, he just has to get used to getting around the OS more

Plus split screen window/application windows on a 5 inch screen is just beyond stupid and gimmicky

 

[dannyyankou]

The battery life is one of the main reasons I may upgrade to the plus. Still undecided, it's a bit gaudy.

I jailbroke my phone ... I have this app that shuts off all bands on my phone when i lock the device ... All except the edge band which is the low energy efficiency one... That checks my notifications yet it saves battery tremendously... Highschool student that uses iphone constantly - gets 1 and a half days of usage .

What's the name of the app and which depositories you got this app from?

Its a really famous app called "battsaver" apparently its incredible and i think its from the default repos do you should be able to find it

Since I bought it 2 days ago. And charged it once completely. I hope this is going to get better in some days.

I was seeing the same as you for the first week or so (received my phone the 5th) but today I'm getting incredible battery life! Check the screen shot out. I also have Bluetooth on 24/7 because I have a pebble so that doesn't help, but if it keeps this up I'll be more then happy!

 

[BrandonPrice31]

Do you guys turn of notifications and push emails?

What tweaks have you guys done?

Yeah hopefully I am expecting the same.
