Yea I know
.Hoping not to jinx it here but so far my restore as new phone decision has been giving better battery. I'll wait until tomorrow to see how it does, I'm still downloading my apps and stuff which could affect the battery life, but so far it seems to be holding up.
It's fine. Anything from 8-10 with heavy use is normal. Over 10 with lighter use, and by that I mean no long spells of gaming or social media. I usually get between 10 and 11 hours but that's with no gaming, no Facebook and all the usual battery saving settings toggled. I mainly web browse, send a few SMS and make a couple of calls.
Pheeeww good to hear, now that is out of my head. Time to move on. Thanks sunking101 for the info
Hope you all have a great one. ✌️
I've been trying to get to 8-10 hours of heavy use but rarely get to 7 or 8. A full restore and turning off some notification centre widgets has helped a bit but not getting near what others seem to be on 8.1.3.
My own experience has been different to most here. My battery life was *awesome* on 8.1.1 but took a nosedive on 8.1.2
I did a clean restore and it was still no better.
8.1.3 was even worse, so I went back to 8.1.2 before they stopped signing it. I wish I could still get the same battery life that I did, which was regularly over 11 hours of usage. I once even got 12 hours. Now I get anything between 8.5 and 10.5, which isn't all that spectacular. All with the same settings, same network, same places of residence & work, and the same usage patterns.
I agree ever since 8.1.3 it might have started with 8.1.2 my battery life is awful. I even have to charge it incase I have a longer night and need it to have battery. I can just see it falling a couple percent at a time. Previously, it would just sit and be strong.

Wish I got that.
2 episodes of House on Netflix take away like a good 35-40% at half brightness
Crikey. Why carry around all that bulk and never use it? You should have got the 4.7" model for easier portability.#
Last year on launch day I purchased and iPhone 6 and an iPhone 6Plus. I returned the 6 Plus because it felt too big and I've been using the 6 ever since then. Lately the screen on the 6 has been starting to feel too small and typing too crammed so I decided to switch back to the 6 Plus. After a couple of days with it I'm so excited about it! The screen is just amazing and the battery life just blows me away. The 6 Plus is really in a different class than the 6. I'm looking forward to the 6S Plus in the Fall, mostly due to the RAM upgrade. So far I don't have any complaints about this phone. We'll see what happens in the future!

For some reason when I check battery usage is doesn't so me anything. Just the % that certain apps have used

I'm in the same boat!

You have to charge your phone all the way. And if you restart/reset it the counter goes blank and will not show usage times until you charge it completely again.
If I'm using Safari or Facebook then the battery percentage will usually drop by 1% every few minutes. The last 40% drops much quicker than the first 40% too. I think this is fairly normal behaviour.
