8.1 iPhone 6 real bad battery life

Man my battery life on the iPhone 6 is so good that I don't worry anymore and I'm an android user who is used to great battery life.
 
Perhaps this is the BEST battery life I've ever had...

My 6 Plus battery is as good as it was before the update. I checked all of my Settings to see that nothing changed, and did a hard reset right after i updated to 8.1, it's running normally for me:

I'm impressed..... I thought mine was good enough.. LOL!:D
 
i was getting 10+ on my 6+, now it's 7-8. don't know what happened. 8.1 screwed it
 
Definitely noticed a degrade in my battery life since the upgrade. Shame really as it used to be really good!

Iphone 6 64GB
 
Before upgrading to 8.1 on my 6, I used to be around 75 - 80% after work. Now I'm around 55 - 60%. Doesn't really bother me as I plug it in when I get home, but there is a noticeable difference in battery drain for me after upgrading to 8.1.

It's definitely an 8.1 problem. I've done multiple restarts and discharges this week as well. I wish there was an easy way to turn off Apple Pay (without removing the cards) to see if that's the problem.

Actually, i tested it with and without Apple pay over 2 days. I'm actually getting ~15% better battery life by removing Apple Pay :( I think its because the NFC chip is always on the lookout for a signal. In Android phones, the nfc doesn't get activated until you open the app or turn on the phone saving battery life.

That is at least my experience...if you decide to test it out, please post your results :)

i'm in italy, i don't even have apple pay. i made a soft reset but it didn't help. the thing is.. i was getting 10-11 hours at my parents place while i was there and the reception there is perfect. here it's only 1-2 bars.. maybe that's the problem.. but when i don't use it it doesn't discharge, like for hours.. well, i'm going to visit them tomorrow and will see how it goes
 
I feel that after the 8.1 my life battery worsen. On the ibackupbot my battery showed to have 2800 mah out of 2855 while everyone else was getting 3000+

I have everything turned off and the brightness at 20% this is what I got today, what do you guys think of it? I am a bit pissed of but I dunno if I should worry too much.

you do realise the answer to your problem is in the screenshot you posted. the Facebook app is widely known to cause battery life problems on all iPhone's. You're not alone, most people I know have just uninstalled it and use the website instead.

You still have the Facebook app installed? Everybody knows it’s the worst battery hog on the whole app store...
