Could send me (private message) a screenshot about your settings (Privacy location / System Services)?
My 6s. Binge watched 2.5 hours of Netflix after work. Making a murderer, of course.
FWIW, this is about 5 hours and 50 minutes of screen on time. I plugged my phone in around 11:30pm the night before, thus the total min over the last 24hrs will be the equal to the SOT on this single charge.

Could you post your settings (privacy/Location Services/System Services/Background Activity/Handoff/Bluetooth)?
For 6s 12 hr is too much to reach without recharge during the day.
Location services on, all apps set to "while using" or never on apps that don't need location IMO, like the PGA tour app.
Background activity off minus google maps and waze.
Bluetooth off.
Handoff never works for me but is set to on in settings.
I agree 12 hours is too high. I'm not too worried about that number. I'm much more pleased with just under 6 hours of screen on time. My s6 edge plus gets 3.5 at most with much larger battery. I've started plugging my phone in around 11:30pm every night just so the 24hr battery stats show a full usage cycle. The screenshot was taken at 11:20pm.
Could you share your System Services inside Privacy/Location ?
Do you use Apple Music and/or iCloud Drive?
Don't use either. I use Spotify. Didn't use it much at all that cycle. Maybe 15min coming home from work that day.
Guys, do you find that the percentage is accurate? For me it is not at all the case as i can see that battery sometimes drop of 1 percent in 1 minute and during next minutes the rate of discharge is much more robust. Moreover these drops of 1 percent look more recurrent when waking up the phone from a short standby. May you please share your experience / remarks? Thanks.
I think is great. 7h average but the best was 8h and 40 min
But this has nothing to do with battery life..bcuz if u have most things off like baground app refresh and other things desactivated your phone will wakeup less times so you will have less usage but your phone will last more in reality..i cant explain it cuz my english is bad
)
What i m trying to say..if u have like 10 h usage doesnt really mean your having great battery life..it s not like sot on android..

Running iOS 9.3 beta 2 on iPhone 6S Plus. Not bad assuming I have many apps on background with location services on and mobile data
6s Plus. My battery seems poor compared to most others so far. Battery drained to 50%. Screen usage less than two hours total (iOS usage is wildly inaccurate), & one hour phone call with screen off. 13hrs standby. Excellent signal. Bluetooth and wifi off. No gaming or media, just Safari, Mail, and messaging. Push, location, and background data off. Brightness about 40%. Battery has a few charge cycles now, and phone was set up new. Already reset it once.
At that rate, I'd be lucky to get 4hrs screen on, or 8hrs of "iOS usage" and 25hrs standby before it shuts off. I've seen others with 10hrs usage, 23hrs standby, gaming and media use, poor signals, Bluetooth on, and higher brightness and still have 20% left.
Anyone think something seems wrong with my phone? What do you think?

I am on 9.3.2 and it is much much better than the previous versions on my iPhone (8.4, 9.3.1).
I get about 6 hrs on my 6s. Have given up on more than 6 and just charge mid day whenever needed. I have spent a lot of time in the past worrying about how to improve battery life. Now I don't even think about it and just charge as needed. Saves me a lot of headaches.
I have both the 6s and the SE. With the same everyday usage by the end of the day my 6s is down to about 40% battery left while my SE is about 60% battery left. Both work well for me with the edge going to th SE it's a powerhouse phone with the best battery I've ever had in an iPhone and surpasses the 5 I had.
No change for me. Its relatively poor compared to the battery life I got when the phone was released.
I tried a fresh install of iOS 9 and I regret it, huge hassle with no difference in battery life.
Alas I'm still wasting time trying to get back the battery life I once had by systematically turning off features. I'm currently testing out having all my email set to manual fetch. Doesn't appear to be making any noticeable difference vs hourly fetch and push where available.
My biggest battery user is phone.app. I talk on the phone a lot for work, but no more than when I got the phone.
BTW my 6S has the TSMC chip so. (I regret and apologize for bragging in the TSMC vs Samsung thread about how great my battery life was! haha)
