Battery Usage/Life Screenshots iPhone 6

My 6 Plus would have around 9 hours of usage time at 10% set up the same way as my 6s Plus. I hope after a couple of cycles that my usage time will improve on the new device. I hate to try setting it up as new.

I setup my 6s+ as new and I'm noticing better battery life than what I experienced on the 6 Plus. I wish I took a second screenshot of the most used apps as I use my phone heavily throughout the day.

Wait!! you had 14 hours screen on time with 24% left??
That's about what I get.. with two charges!!

iOS 'usage time' is not the same as Android's 'screen on time.' Usage time adds time whenever an app refreshes in the background/listening to music in the background. Find more about it here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201264
A more accurate 'usage time' that tells the 'screen on time' would be turning off the background refresh and not listening to music in the background, I believe. Coming from Android, I had to find out a way to get 'screen on time too' and that's what I found. I haven't listened to music in the background and I have turned off background refresh so I can get a more accurate 'usage time'.
Thank you! Looks like I'm going to set up as new and see how it does. Ugh, I hate setting up everything from scratch.
For many do you your battery woes are due to Facebook. I look at Fb as much as the BBC News. News uses 1% battery but fb can be as high as 60%.
iOS 9 has now shown me it has around 5 mins of screen time in a day but over 8 hours of background activity. But background app refresh is off. As is location and notifications so what the f' is it doing?
I was getting about a day from my 6s battery. Deleted fb and now use the website and I'm getting 2 days.

That's not good. You should get around 1 hour usage for every 10% used. So you should be on 5 hours, knocking on the door of 6.
New record! iPhone 6S. I believe this is an accurate 'screen on time' because I don't listen to music in the background and neither is my 'background refresh' turned on which add time to the 'usage time.' Last I charged my 6S was two days ago. Exactly at this time. So far satisfied with my battery, as my HTC One M7 had HORRIBLE battery life. Had to recharge that at least twice a day. Apple's optimization in their devices are killer.
