How's your battery life looking so far?

If this is typical then it's extremely disappointing. So far mine is quite similar. I don't get it why standby time is so short with this 6s. I thought iphone is best at standby time.
Coming from an iPhone 6 Plus I must say I am pretty happy with the battery life on my regular 6S. I knew I would experience a drop in battery life but it doesn't seem like that much of a difference. Here is a photo of my usage. I had wifi on constantly and didn't use lte much. I also used bluetooth to connect to an external speaker, enabled instant email notifications, sent text messages, browsed safari, took several live photos and used spotify and the music app. I did not use Low Power Mode.
Well just about to go bed after a night shift and decided to leave 4G on with the work wifi and battery life is no different than with 4G off....battery life stays great
Gotta agree.. I think I didn't realize how big of a difference the battery life was in my previous 6 plus vs my current 6S. I'm considering getting a external battery or just exchanging it for the 6S Plus if my local Apple Store gets some in time before my return policy date runs out. I like the smaller form factor in some cases, but I miss the plus' battery life, optical image stabilization, immersive screen when watching YouTube or just browsing the Internet.
Whaaat? Those numbers are waaay lower than your last screenshot when you turned off the LTE/4G.. Not sure why you'd say they're the same...Well just about to go bed after a night shift and decided to leave 4G on with the work wifi and battery life is no different than with 4G off....battery life stays great
The battery life on my 6S is alright. On wi-fi the entire time at around 60% brightness. No low power mode and all background updating and location services are enabled.
Those are really great numbers for 6S. I never got anything close to that with my 6.
So far in this thread I haven't seen much evidence of the 6S+ blowing the 6S out of the water with battery life.. Seems like at most 10-15% more power.. And with some of your usage patterns - 6S and 6S+ seem about the same. Interesting.

Well it says on the bottom that "iPhone has been plugged in since the last full charge"
Only the standby time it's off...based on usage I would still expect to get well over 14 hours usage here.
Will see what it ends like...keeping 4G may well lose me an hour or two
Mine hasn't hit 80% from a day's usage yet, loving the battery life.
I reckon if i switched it off overnight i'd get 4/5 days out of it.

Surely you would get over a day's usage from any phone on the market so battery life should never be a concern for you.
Ha not quite
My S6 edge would die by 4pm everyday. Even my note 4 never lasted all day.
Wow that is truly amazing. How are you guys getting these results? Is this all wifi?My 6S+ battery life is superb. It is even better than my old 6+ and that was no slouch.

The stats I uploaded were from a day mainly spent surfing the web over WiFi. There was maybe 30 mins of 4G browsing and some other bits & bobs.
