That doesn't seem right at all. So as an example on my 7+ since I adjusted the background app refresh of a few apps on a hunch - last night: I had the phone plugged in late evening. Took off. Used to was at 98% when I went to sleep. No airplane mode. I have do not disturb scheduled from 1AM to 5.15AM. When I woke, phone was at 96%. Have you installed apps? Are you updated to 10.0.1?
Got a tip for us?

The very first day I picked up my 7+, I fully charged it and used it without updating to iOS 10.0.1. The first full charge seemed to last quite a long time,
So I had mine charged up to 100. Took it off, been using it for an hour and a bit off the charger for an hour and a half now. Fairly intense use, bluetooth headphones connected, calls etc.

That's the kind of battery life I was expecting. I think I should go and get my phone exchanged then as right now the battery life is pretty poor and the standby drain is way worse than my S7E which is notorious for poor standby drain.
,before I have a 6plus there was between 8 and 10% and I have no more emails as before, the settings are same
Define good battery life. I have an Apple Watch connected to my 7+ all day and I get 10-12 hours/day with 25% battery left over.
Take it to store and let them look.
Probably they will erase and restore so backup before you go.
They wont exchange the phone w/o doing tests and restore first.
Seems quite good. Hope to get the same results. Got mine today, so today won't be representative at all.
Also remember signal strength plays a role as well. The weaker your signal the more battery power you phone uses to try and maintain a connection to the cell tower.
So I went to the Genius Bar yesterday. Like I thought they said nothing is wrong with my phone. The fact that I had 25% battery with 2.5hrs usage and 9hrs standby wasn't alarming to them at all.
Apple Care had me reset and restore, set as new, blah blah blah... the previous two days. So I never went more than a day without resetting and changing stuff.
I'm going to just let it be for a week and see what happens. The Genius Bar said to come back if it doesn't change in a week. So we'll see.

He even said they didn't have any in stock. But that has crossed my mind. I'll give it a few days and see how it gets.
I have the silver iphone plus. Eventually ill swap it with jet black or matt black within 14 days and also worried about the hissing noise. Good luck man
I posted in another thread before about the battery life, which is amazing in my experience so far. On a 95% charge I've managed about 6 hours usage and 9 hours standby and I'm at 39% on my iPhone 7+. I can't see exact timings because I haven't even fully charged yet since purchasing yesterday.
A few things to remember; Once all of the stuff is restored, the phone will do things in the background such as indexing. For the first day or maybe two your phone will be indexing or re-indexing all of your data i.e. music, images (especially for that new image search functionality), spotlight search, etc. - whilst there's no source for this, I did ask at the Genius bar last year and he confirmed that our phones will indeed need to index (or re-index, whatever).

It has been 5 days for me since I set up my iPhone 7+. I also set it up as a new device and it has literally nothing on it except a few apps and some pictures. There is nothing for it to index and even in Airplane mode it still drains like mad.
Regardless of the above, Apple can either replace it for me on the spot or I will just flat out return it. I'm not going to run around in circles with them restoring and restarting when I have already done that myself and there was no change.
On my 6s Plus I have auto brightness and background activity on for only a couple of apps (messaging app mostly), and I usually reach home at 6pm with around 50% of battery and 4.5 hours of usage. My usage is mostly messaging, email, lot of web surfing, music, some youtube videos and light gaming. I use it mainly when I commute. If I go heavy with games and GPS (maps) I usually end the day at 20%.
I was thinking of switching to the 7 but, at this point, I think batter will not last the full day.
