6s plus users - what are your settings for battery life optimization?

Usage is not screen on time lol

Here's my usage for the last 36 hours. So I know I can get 48 hours on a charge if I need to.

That's insane. I can get 10% per hour of usage only with low power mode on. You're getting 1.5x's that?

It almost feels too good to be true. I even have 'Hey Siri' on and I've used it only like once to try it out.

So far this morning I've used my phone to check Twitter (using Tweetbot 4), checked some emails, looked at some photos (to check the screenshot for my first run-down on the battery), used Safari to browse for a couple minutes and played a game that always requires an internet connection.

I'll maybe post a screenshot a few hours later but here's a link to a post I made in another thread that has screenshots of the first time I ran the battery from full to 1%. Since then I've made some slight changes (like no longer using CloudMagic for emails and returning to the stock email app so I can take advantage of the Safari browser and content blocking) but aside from that no changes really.

For what it's worth, I checked what my chip was in that other thread by downloading two apps from the App Store and both of them confirmed that I have the Samsung chip, which so far in testing has shown to supposedly have less battery life than the TSMC chip. Weird, haha.

Ironic... I have the TSMC. I'm definitely happy with my battery life though. Better than I expected. I never thought I'd be able to go 48 hours on a charge on my cell phone. It'll be cool to see batteries get better, eventually we'll only need to charge once a week. Forget about fast charging, less frequent charging sounds better to me.

I would tell you, but last time I did everyone said "why would you want to do that to your phone??!?!?!!"

trying to get better battery life by turning off unnecessary stuff is 1 thing, but turning off every feature of the phone is kinda silly. why not just get a flip phone

mines simply. i have all email set to manual, all backgroud app refresh off unless i need it and screen brightness as low as i can stand it. i usually only have to charge my 6s plus once or twice a week
