How's your battery life looking so far?

My Battery Life has sucked since iOS 9.0.2 iPhone 6S Plus

Messages: 4.6 Hours on screen 57%
Safari: 1.6 Hours on screen 30%

Those are the two biggest. The only thing I think could be the thing affecting it negative is when I am at work I have very very low signal...

6 plus was way better than my 6s plus.

I'm still loving my battery life on my 6 plus. Probably because I don't stare at or install/play games on my phone... mainly streaming. I think since I've been leaving wifi off... only LTE... it seems battery efficiency increased for me.

it's improving day by day. I'm a heavy social media/YouTube watcher/reader throughout the day so I'm pleased so far

Another great cycle. Usage fairly mixed with 50% going to Safari. Battery has been incredibly consistent w/ my 6S+. I can easily get a full day of heavier use and two days of moderate use before needing a charge.

this is pretty much what I'm experiencing. the battery life on the 6S+ is really impressive, especially coming from my Nexus 5 which only got about 50 minutes of screen on time :p

I really think the whole chipgate thing is being blown out of proportion and all over one benchmark that doesn't imitate real life use. If I thought I was getting terrible battery I would've returned it, but I'm getting great battery on my Samsung chip.

A lot of people post their screenshot here, I want to know if the result of these two chips are really similar or so different.
 
Weird. My battery stats are way off right now, showing 3 hours and 12 minutes of usage @ 88%. It should probably be about half that amount.
 
The battery life of my iPhone 6s Plus has been absolutely terrible. I took my first back to the Apple Store and they said there were absolutely no issues with it whatsoever that they could see, but replaced it for a completely new phone out of good will, but it hasn't made a blind bit of difference.

I saw an earlier post here saying 9.1b5 was better on battery life than 9.0.2 and took a punt to install the public beta incase it made any difference and, while I think it has made some difference, it's certainly not right by any means.

I don't play games at all on my device - I don't even have any installed - and don't watch streaming media extensively... just use 'normal' phone operations, browse Safari and Twitter (using Tweetbot 4) and my battery's currently at 18% remaining after 5hrs, 7mins of usage and 26hrs, 56mins on standby.

I have to think that it could only be a software-related issue, as what are the odds that two completely separate phones could have the exact same issue? I have Background App Refresh turned off completely, as well as Wi-Fi Assist.

Does this sound normal?

Try doing these battery saving tips in your settings. Not all are necessary. I have wifi on all the time. Also, turn off notification alerts on lock screen. Tons of notifications can drain your battery. If you are using Facebook, turn off autoplay in account settings under video and photos.

I think guys should all just submit the 1% left picture then it would be much more fair and easier to compare. Make sure you mention which chip, your phone is 6s or 6s plus
 
My best stats so far with the 6s.
I used lots of whatsapp web.
Low power mode was on.
Turned off wi-fi while on 3G and vice versa.
