Where are you getting these numbers from? I have Samsung and averaging 11-14 hours depending on what I'm doing and not using low power mode or any other power saving technique.
Got a tip for us?

I read most of the replies in this post, read a lot of posts in this forum, and other reviews, youtube.....
I think the easier to tell an Apple to Apple real life comparison are people who use a phone with chip of one chip, then exchange to get another chip. Almost I see people always report TSMC version has longer battery life than Samsung, we are talking around 10% to 25% kind of different.
I use my 6s the same way I used my old 5s. Granted my 5s was two years old, but I'd have to charge before the end of the day. 6s I have about 50% left and standby life is amazing.
Battery percentage. Was this when the battery was almost all gone around 1% or
was it around 20% or some other amount of battery left?
6s+.
1. 7 hours with about 90 hours standby with about 3 percent remaining.
2. 6 hours and 40 mins with about 110 hours standby with no percent remaining.
3. (now) on 49 percent and sitting at almost 4 hours usage with 48 hours standby.
I wasn't too happy with the 2nd one. FYI: it's a TMSC. I only found out by doing the battery drain test and checked the diagnostics log.
nPlayer was the app I used the most for # 1 and 2, but 3 hasn't used it at all. That might explain the better numbers so far, but I've also adjusted a few settings to save battery so that might be helping too...
To be honest I was expecting a little more as I'm used to my phenomenal wifi iPad air that after two years still hits 10-11 hours. It's a beast.

I charge every night and have a zero lemon case for times I'm not gonna be near a charger
I wonder how high I can get with a 6s plus
Since upgrading to iOS 9.1, my usage and standby started going up at the same rate some at some point on both my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6s Plus. I tried killing all the apps, it made no difference.
I restarted my iPad and iPhone. The iPad started sleeping. I have no idea of the iPhone did or not since the battery usage and standby started showing as dashes after rebooting (like it does after a hard reset).
Anyone else seeing this?

So you have both samsung and TSMC iphone 6s/6s plus at your home? You can do some testing and let's us know the answers. The test can be very simple like you loop through same youtube playlist from 100% to 0%, open record video until battery die, find an app that do repeated work.
Same here.
Coming from OnePlus One and battery life feels bad. A bit texting, Some Safari and Some music and you feel like your phone won't last one day. Really disappointed
