6 Plus battery life. Is it improved?

[edlex]

Took it off the charger at 7am and after non stop, setting up, taking calls, some text messages, downloading about 50 app's since I set it up as new, streaming radio, took a couple of pictures, couple of youtube videos, and alot of surfing it's at 64% at 12pm. That's pretty damn good and I'm coming from a note 2! Wait until I get a few drain and charge cycles to condition the battery and it should get even better!

Battery life is as good if not better than my Note 3. I'm well happy and the main reason why I couldn't buy a ip6.

Sitting at 5 hours of usage and 16 hours of standby with 48% remaining.

With my 5s I would probably be under 20% right now so I am happy with it.

Today, mine has been better than it was yesterday.

Pretty light use but
1.5 hrs usage and 3.5 hrs of standby.
The usage was a lot of safari browsing and some youtube vids, and app downloads.

Im sitting at 93% right now.
My wife's 6 is at 66%

I have the 6 and I'm a bit disappointed with the battery life... Everything else is awesome but battery life needs improvement

Which carrier? How bad? 6, not 6 plus. Right?

 

[Minarets]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to more long term results of this bigger battery.

Rogers or AT&T in the USA, got it at 6 last night by 12 it was at 5% think it was about 70% when I got it, today fully charged and 3 hours in 75%, no video watching mostly Internet useage.

Ok, I might'v been to fast with making conclusions, maybe because I was spoiled with my weirdly awesome 5s's battery life. But this, this is pretty good.

So I've been playing Bioshock at max brightness, and six hours in, phone dies...

Steve would never let that happen.

Shame on you battery!

You're right. Steve would say you're playing the game wrong.

Playing a game for six hours straight will drain the battery quickly. On most phones, you'd be lucky to get four hours out of it. Here's my take on battery life - with my 5s, I'd charge the phone to full overnight and still have to switch on my Mophie by 4-5 pm due to how fast the battery drained. With the 6+, I'm sitting at 38% at 11:40pm local time without having charged it once during the day, and no Mophie case on it.
