I put this form together to gather all the info I could think of regarding people's battery stats:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BXvQW-gRP1GQvx06ElACCTu3dPhOe9JX42P22Z6VVwI/viewform


Takes a while to answer all the questions, but I wanted it to be as complete as possible without getting too anecdotal.
Once you complete, it shows Google Form's summary view of answer, but isn't that indicative of patterns.


I've made the spreadsheet results visible to anyone:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16QWPn-oJ3XYVQhEFlsT7R50UJmg7bLNDkUf70JT83Ps/edit?usp=sharing
I've never shared a google spreadsheet before, so let me know if that works okay or not..

I've added a column for "projected" usage. It takes the usage time, converts to minutes, divides by percentage drained (100 minus percent left), multiplied by 100 (to projected 100% usage..) then converts back to a time.

Not too many response so far (probably most of them are mine), so get filling it in :)

Good stuff here - thanks!

I put in my data (the two entries from Pakistan) of the same charge cycle, one at 1% battery left, and the other from 50%. Wanted to see how accurately your sheet would calculate remaining usage time (given consistent use, of course). It doesn't seem to be showing up for the last few entries - is it broken, or have you disabled it?
 
Today's battery, under pretty heavy use I would say. Been on Wi-Fi all day but I only have 1/2 bars of signal which may affect it somewhat.

iPhone 6 Plus. No charger for two days. Love that it only loses 1% of battery Ina night of sleeping. I thought my Note 3 was the king of battery life. The iPhone DESTROYS it.

Love my Plus!!

Wanted to add. My screen brightness is set between 40% and 50%.

Standby Time = Usage Time...???

My standby time is showing the same as the usage time on my new 6 Plus. :confused:

I cut off the location services that were running in the background. Seems my pebble watch was always using it? But on new charge, im still starting to show same standby and usage times...

Any ideas?

That's a mental amount of battery life !!
 
This is from yesterday. I can actually leave my charger in my bag during work hours now. Don't have to charge in the car or anything. I'm free. Lol

I have to copy and paste the formula manually for new entries - I can't make it stay. When I copy and paste in advance, it gets wiped out when a new entry is submitted.
I'll do it tomorrow when I'm on the laptop
 
Godus kills the battery.
I've been playing it for most of this battery life, brightness set to 25% or less.

The remaining battery was 12% before I started charging again (not the 21% of the screenshot).

It didn't count it in use but the background activity was over 4 hrs of streaming radio. I'm happy with it. Saturday's are probably my heavy usage days as I dont listen to the am radio as much so I'm more likely to stream it.

This is also only my 3rd day. I had an issue with my phone. Returned it and this is the replacement sent to me that I received Thursday. A lot of people said no need to cycle the battery so I'm giving that a try.

This was my usage on the Space Gray iPhone 6 after the 3rd full charge.

----------

This is the battery usage on my new Silver GSM iPhone 6 after only one charge. I ended up getting Apples stated 11 hours of usage time. Also, it turns out that I use Safari a lot more than I thought.

We're those both mostly on wifi?
 
This can't be normal, can it? Mostly LTE usage and wouldn't consider it heavy at all.

It's definitely the best iPhone battery ever. I haven't needed to carry around my battery case or anything, which is great.

It's awesome. Nice being able to go out away from home knowing you're good to go for the day (or even two - it's 9:40 at night here and I can probably last tomorrow too)
 
Here was my day 1 stats

I was impressed vs what I used to get

Same here.
I use it all day and still have about 50% by the time I go to bed.
I can get away with charging it every other day for the most part so far.
Very happy with the battery life of my 6 plus so far.
