I don't use 3D Touch. It doesn't make a difference, but it wastes battery though.

I don't think I could go from 100 to 80% in 30 minutes if I tried. I can almost certifiably say this has nothing to do with 3D Touch.
He's talking about the inclusion of 3D Touch meaning the battery itself is physically smaller than on the 6.
So, he's speaking of Force Touch, which makes the screen deeper, which means a smaller battery.
OK. So what then of his complaints about battery life?
An iPhone 6 with the same issue OP is complaining about would still drain the same way - it'd just be from a larger battery - and OP wouldn't have the smaller battery and Force Touch to blame the drain issue on.
Sorry, but I think you're wrong. He talks of the 3D Touch wasting battery with "all those vibrations and pressure processing".

Haven't read whole thread too lazy... but has anyone noticed how much better copy/paste is with 3d touch on 9.2?
OK. End of thread then.
The battery is physically smaller to make room for Force Touch. That is a fact.
OP has made his complaint (although the feedback option at apple.com is always good).
There is nothing we can do to resolve OP's complaint. He needs to get Apple to solve the problem for him.
Or he can buy the case apple released yesterday, with the weird lump on the back
That too.
Still doesn't solve his battery drain problem, but since that's not the topic of this thread apparently we can just not discuss that.
There's people out there that don't know if the 6s and the 6 battery is the same, and I'm putting my vote in that it isn't.

Welcome to September 25th. We know the battery is not the same. The 6s battery is smaller. But because of the increased power management of the A9 over the A8, battery life is much better. I get hours more on my 6s compared to my 6.
Who's saying the battery is the same? Apple was pretty transparent on that.
You losing 20% of your battery power in 30 minutes has nothing to do with the 6s battery being 5% smaller than the 6, for whatever design reason Apple had. You either have a rogue app or a defective phone. Either one is resolvable, if you chose to.

OP, there's already been a few people suggesting you go to settings > battery to see what could be draining yours and you seem to be sitting on the sidelines instead watching responses and occasionally popping in with more whining. Obvious troll thread.
Can't wait for the finishers "fed up with Apple", "Jobs wouldn't have allowed it" and you're "getting a Samsung".

Use this, it works
The OPs that manage to get traction in this forum is crazy. The guy is either trolling, unable to read, or unable to use technology correctly.
A 20% drop in 30 minutes only happens with max brightness on some high caliber game, if even then. He has been told he has a defective unit, or at least needs to do a factory reset.
My bet is on trolling. He doesn't reply for several posts, and then gives one sentences post, simply to fuel the fire
