Don't have my new 6+ yet, but I can testify that iOS 8 is killing my iPhone 5's battery a lot faster than before I upgraded the OS.
Hopefully it gets better but first day of use at 100% at 7:30 am and by 11:45 I was at 28%
Anyone else getting less than desirable battery life on the 4.7 6?
Guys you have to give it a few days. When I started using mine it was downloading photos from the cloud like crazy for over an hour, updating, and god knows what else in the background. It was actually getting so warm it was about to get uncomfortable to hold. After a while it died down and got cool again. But the battery took a major hit upfront because of all that.
After a few restarts for good measure last night and this morning, and a full night on the charger, my battery life is awesome today, and I've been streaming Spotify, Bluetooth to my car, and all kinds of stuff.
I have a plus that I've been using since 8:00 am, its 5:51 pm and I am at 71% battery life. I have been using it all day. Games, video, calls, wifi, lte, downloading, etc.

Can you post a screen cap of your battery usage page please?
Lol you guys should have got the plus. Told ya so
Those complaining about horrible battery life need to wait a couple days, especially if you see the message that its still restoring
Those claiming the have super duper awesome battery life are either not using their phone or are FOS. Apple's own inflated numbers shows it to be on par with a 5S, actual reviews show it to be more or less (usually less) on par with a 5S too. So enough with the BS about how you used it heavily and 24 hours later you're still at 22% Your phone isn't that special.
I could not agree more. People saying they have been using their phone hard for 24 hours and still have half their battery left are just like the guy on the other thread that has a 6+ and he said he was walking two large breed dogs and posting to this forum one handed at the same time with ease ...,
I don't know why people have to make stuff up to justify their purchase ....
I did none of that. Mine was plugged into my iMac for all data transfers. Did a clean install. Phone was done with iCloud, etc. off and fully charged the next day (today). I've had every phone since 2007 and mine is not right. There's no way 'giving it time' is going to fix mine.
As I type this out, 4 hours and 63% is way good on my end.
Battery: 63%
Usage: 4hr:14 min
Standby: 8hr 22min
You win. Your phone sucks.
Wow that is much better than mine.
Battery: 23%
Usage: 4 hrs 46 mins
Standby: 15 hrs 20 mins
I know I have a longer arount of standby time, but there is no way that explains this battery differential. Totally unimpressed by the battery life on the 6 so far. Set up as a new phone, turned off background app refresh and most system location services, and still crap battery life. It's even worse than my 5S.
Depends on how your using it in that amount of time. YouTube and pr0n is a real drain.![]()
