How's your battery life looking so far?

My 6s is way better than my iPhone 6. I would get a solid 7 hours on my iPhone 6 and was happy with that. I got 10 hours out of my 6s yesterday and had 20% left. That's with restoring from an iCloud backup, indexing and repairing my Apple Watch.

A little let down on my 6s+ so far. It isn't terrible, but worse than I expected.

6s+. Not all that impressed actually, pulled off the charger around 5:30 am and down to around 10% by 1. Turned on low power mode and was extremely conservative and phone finally gave out at 2:30. To be fair, I used it quite a bit but I definitely expected better coming from a 6.

Battery life is actually very good, on my 6S Plus. Even with the bigger battery of the 6 Plus, I would still need a little boost towards the end of the day. I ran the 6S+, even more, just to see, and still went down to charge at 39%, 6:30AM- 10:45 PM. I ran the battery down to the bare minimum when I got it yesterday, did a full charge cycle, and once again today. Will see how it holds tomorrow.
 
6s day one, 7.5 usage with 14.5 standby before it died. Decent considering I came from a 4s that had to be charged twice a day.
 
So average out all these comments and we get the same battery life as the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus like Apple advertised ;)
 
Low Power mode is a major success on my 6s+. I've been running about 2.5 hours of actual usage on it and I'm at 6%. Turned it on at 20%.
 
6s 64GB here.

I'm going to take a few readings and average them out, NOT using low power mode at all, from 100% to 0%.

Then I'll do exactly the same but using low power mode permanently, to see what kind of difference it actually makes.
 
Had my phone fully charged yesterday morning, this morning it was put of battery. Hence not even lasting a day. Also chargin feels like it is taking much longer. Not impressed at all.

Is there a way to restore your health data without doing a full phone restore? Would not like to loose them.

I used low power mode with 20% left and in 3 hours it only went down 10%
 
too soon too really tell. So far doesn't look any better than the 6. Lets wait a week to be fair.
 
6s.. Is this good? I didn't use low power mode, just lots of playing around since its new. My first iPhone so I have no base line. First post here too, came from a G3.

It's similar but I have noticed a slight decrease. And 4K is a HUGE drain lol.
