iPhone 6S - Just hit 20% with low power mode activating, I'd probably be able to get to over 7hrs usage before it dies.
Got a tip for us?

Hi guys, I started a thread to see if there is any difference in real-world use between the chips. Please post your screenshots over there also.

Have you guys done anything specific to increase your battery life?
I upgraded from an iPhone 5 on iOS 7.xx (backed up from cloud) and I'm only getting 3.5hrs usage 15 standby on my 6s (can't screenshot because I just stuck it on charge)
It's no better than my 3year old 5 so I'm pretty disappointed. I feel like I should have gone for a 6+.

switch background fresh off along with wifi assist.
Also when on wifi switch off data as it does extend the battery life by abit
That's fantastic. Whatever Chip you have, you don't have an issue. Good for you
Amazing battery life¡! Nice!!
This was after working at a hotel which has terrible cell coverage is switching to 3g to LTE majority of the time. Checking facebook, instagram, surfing the net, streaming music, watching baseball high lights off at bat 15, taking photos and recording a couple of 4k video at a party after work. I guess you can say it's real life usage instead of running heavy processor related apps. (games etc). Granted this isn't a logic way of the best accurate way of finding how good your battery life, but it goes up and beyond what I ask for it to do on a daily basis (esp coming after the iphone 5s).
Just wanted to bring some positive news towards this thread and other samsung owners. Yeah we probably got the short end of the stick here, but I have been loving my phone since getting it (6s: 64 gig, verizon).
One thing for people to realize when they first get the iPhone is that the filesystem is being indexed by spotlight and this will use up a lot of battery. However it's only your first time thing. Don't start panicking over your battery until after 48 hours.
I had a iPhone 6s with the TSMC Chip but had to exchange it because of a dead pixel. Now I have a Samsung chip build in. How does my stats look?
I did a benchmark test with antutu and that ate about 3-4%. Updated a lot of big apps like iMovie, Pages, Number and Keynote as well.

Here're the results of my brand new iPhone 6S 64GB (Samsung). I was very worried about this Samsung vs TSCM case. But after testing my iPhone I'm in love with it. This is the first battery discharge. Just charged from from the AppleStore and first use. I hope this will increase as the battery burn-in.

I put my 6s+ to the test yesterday:
That was a full, very heavy usage day including almost 4 hours of web browsing, almost two hours of multiplayer minecraft with the kids, streaming half the 4th quarter of the UGA-Tennessee game over LTE, and a lot of texting, a little YouTube and random other stuff.
I took the phone off the charger at 7:30am and it finally died at 9:00pm. No charging during the day, no low power mode and 50% screen brightness.
I have no idea what chip I have but I'm a satisfied customer!
