Why are mail and whatsapp using up so much battery?
I don't even write mails and the client is fetching every 30 minutes from 2 accounts.
While writing this the battery dropped from 74 to 72 percent.
My usage is pretty light, I am checking the phone every 15 minutes for messages and every time I use it it drops dramatically.
I get approximately 2-3 hours of screen time out of this phone. This is not enough !

My iPhone 6 Plus is performing just like yours! I think what is draining is that I restored from a backup instead of from a new device so I will do that tonight after talking to Apple Support (that's what they told me).
And it didn't solve the problem? Did they run a diagnostics?
I can guarantee you Facebook is draining it too!

I feel awful for you buddy...I'll try to restore mine today/tomorrow and I'll check back in...You should also try to update the iOS 8.1 tomorrow and if you have lots of apps on then delete them.
So glad I returned the 6 for the 6 Plus. Battery life much improved. I was at an event for 9+ hours of 60fps video, surfing the net, Facebook, messaging, misc and was at 47%? at the end of it. It was on LTE and searching for Wifi all day I suppose because I didn't shut it off. Wasn't the heaviest of uses but it was 'average use' for that day. Others there had portable chargers. It was nice to not have to worry. The extra boost with the Plus made a big difference to me with testing both.
Either way my 5 would've been toast 3-4 times over.
I was shopping for portable chargers but put that on the back burner. Might get a small cheap one for emergencies.

Do you guys think usage is pretty good considering mostly safari, music and games?

Is that the 6 or 6 Plus?

I think so, but I'm running a 6 that I've owned for 2 days, so I'm still feeling it out.
Battery life has always between Weakness of phones, it's my second largest complaint. I will say that my 6 is the best of all the iPhones I've used, even with android I always have to change out the battery.
The bottom line - if you're actively using your phone all day long, you won't get a full day use. If you use it off and on all day (or in my case text off and on while at work), it will generally last until I go to bed.
The people getting amazing battery life aren't on the phone all day, the people (generally) getting bad battery life are actively using the phone.
