Hi guys!
Having a bit trouble with the accuracy of the battery usage in settings on my new iPhone 6s since a couple of days. I've reset the phone but it didn't fix the issue. Other suggestions?

Hi guys!

What is the issue?
 
It shows too many hours of usage! I mean, I usually get 6-7 hours a day and now it shows a usage of 3 hours though I have more than 80 percent left in battery!
Sounds like you might have an app or process doing something in the background perhaps.

So you think the battery meter must be wrong, because you're getting good battery life? I have to say, mine has been pretty accurate from what I can tell and there have been updates to help improve battery in the recent updates. Maybe you're just lucky at the moment but I doubt your battery meter is broken in any way.

My 6S Plus (and the previous 6 Plus) are both @ 65% at the end of a 16-17 hour day on average. There have been places and times with something out of the ordinary like poor signal or extra heavy use but generally I see good battery life with my devices.

I just think it's strange that the battery meter all of a sudden shows this efficiency! I mean I haven't changed my usage pattern in any way!
