I am very displeased with the battery life on my 6+. Is mine defective?

Seeing as I don't like being called a liar here is my battery stats from today after a days usage. As you can see I have similar battery % as my first image and actually have nearly two extra hours usage so it's done even better today!



My hours of usage is very similar to OP and he has 7% battery against my 42%. And for the record, I can't prove these things so expect i'll be called a liar again, but I don't have the brightness dimmed or any battery savings techniques enforced, 4G, bluetooth are all on etc and i don't turn off location services, background app refresh etc.

You are a liar because that is PHYSICALLY impossible. No offense or anything, the battery on the plus averages something like 10 hours, similar to an iPad.
 
I had brightness at 100% today and got right at 6 hours of usage with 4% left. :(

Love the plus
 
I have been through 4 different iphone 6+'s due to screen issues.

i DFU'd each phone as i got them, ran them the same way - same settings, apps everything.

3 of the four performed almost exactly the same with battery life - the 4th was total dog, i could barely get 5-6 hours out of it. I do believe there are some out there with **** batteries.
 
This is the best that I can seem to get. Guess I can live with it. I'm mostly on LTE for most of the day at work. This is been a few charge cycles now with brightness set about half way, background refresh off and location services active on some apps while using. It lasts me all day up until now when I have to put it on the charger and it came off th charger around 7:45am.

I really wanna know how people get the standby times with days or two. I don't think I can ever get that out of mine.
 
I've had my plus for four weeks. I get between 8-10 hours of usage. Most of it is games.

I take everyone's usage stats with a grain of salt. So many things to consider like signal strength, exact usage, screen brightness, etc. This is assuming everyone is honest and not fudging the charging stats to brag.

Basically, don't cry "bad battery" and run back to the Apple Store just because you aren't getting the same stats as another user. You'll know if your battery is defective...

I personally think the screenshot usage comparisons are stupid and pointless. It's kind of like people posting the MPG stats from their car dashboards to brag about their fuel efficiency. Too many variables.

Yeah that's very true. Can't always compare because there are so many facts to consider. I'm not worried about how many days I can get out of it. As long as it gets me through the day and when I get home I'm good with it. Some phones wouldn't even get me through the 8 hour work day.
 
Has anyone noticed a decrease in their battery life? After about a week and a half its definitely not lasting like it did the first week. It's still pretty good but every morning like clockwork I unplug at 525 and go to pt. When I get back in my car it was always still at 100% and would stay that way till about 845 when it'd drop to 99%. Now a week and a half later it drops to 97% driving to pt at 615. Used to come home from work at 65-70% consistently now it's about 35-40. Usage is the same, I keep my brightness at the same levels, etc.

Anyone else experience this?

The battery meter might need to be calibrated.

Your Plus is better than mine.

80% brightness? Good lord... I would go blind. I'm at about 30% brightness.
