Nope, I'm expecting the exact same battery life as the 5s for one simple reason: the iPod touch's A5 to A8 transition which actually decreased battery life (according to some).

If a three generation advancement did not improve battery life, I don't except a two generation advancement to do so.

There was no increase in battery size from the 5th gen to 6th gen. Negligible at least. 1043mah from 1030mah

5S 1560mah ,5SE 1624mah just a little increase ,not amazing just similar.

Not amazing, but better and with a better smaller cpu and iOS, it may translate to a slightly better battery life. Why don't we wait a few weeks before bashing other over this ? We pee on's think we are know it all, and we are not.
 
Equal to the 6 +

Hahahahahahahahahahaha


The plus series easily has the best battery life in the smartphone market, wont even be close.

I suspect the battery life will be good but not so sure about stellar. Much depends on how much Apple spent on the new circuit board and what the put on it.

I doubt it will beat my 6S+ but in the end it does not matter to me as there is no way I could go back to a tiny screen.

Which is why I'm making the point that the 5se's battery life will not increase from the 5s's, since the battery size is only a little bit bigger yet the A-chip jump is only a two generation jump vs. a three generation jump for the iPod touch, which should have brought so much efficiency improvements.

For one, this ******* doesn't care about the battery life on his creation: http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/06/jony-ive-iphone-battery/
When fools like that make decisions, you have a pretty looking accessory instead of an actual workhorse!


Good article you linked. Thanks.

Joni Ive has become one of the most dangerous problems of apple, not at all someone who makes solutions.
It is not only that his ridiculous thinness-mania gets customers more and more on distance with apple products in daily life - he generates more and mor big problems about reliability: the fact that thinness-mania leads automatically to cooling-problems is now even part of a sort of infamous "tradition" of severe "branded" issues:
If people talk about toasted GPUs, dead notebooks and burned laps, everyone knows what brand you are talking about: APPLE !

The sadly tradition of GPU failures began already in 2007/2008 and is since part of a enterprise-wide ignorance.
Since 2013, when Ive got completely nuts and presented the "trash-can-like" MacPro, he succeded in only one thing: transmission of the since 2008 endemic heat-desease of the MBP line from a former as absolutely well designed, sturdy and reliable and also extremly well servicable and upgradable known CLASSIC MacPro into a "new designed" MacPro line which did not hesitate to get at once infected with the same disease of failing GPUs...
Like always, apple ignored with all its now genetically fixed arrogance the problems, as already with the MBPs years before and risked class action lawsuit - and - as always -just befor losing the case they mad a deal...
So, now apple silently started a so-called "extended repair program" ( which they have been forcd to already for the MBP 2007/8 generation , then 2009 generation, then 2011/2012 generqtion ( just extended a further 10 months) and even begins with the 2013 retina MBP - what a pride tradition lin, isn't it) now beginning as well for the "trash-can-like" new MacPros-line. In the meanwhile customers started to be informed by informed leaking that some of the GPUs used in the trash-can Mac"Pro" line had even to be UNDERCLOCKED (!) to prevent being even more failing machines because of the childish thinness-mania design of Jony Ive with its chronic overheatung problem ... Imagine: UNDERCLOCKING as a engineering-design for a working-horse PRO machine because the chief designer loves to overheat systematically more and more of the products...! One cannot believe it, but it is true!

Jony Ive is perhaps the most overestimated designer of the world, perhaps on par with the clown Phillipe Starck who is nothing but a bad stylistvinstead being a designer - Jony Ive is like the captain of the Titanic: full power ahead! What? There are more and mor icebergs around. Don't car about it, just straight ahead - into the iceberg... Never change the course... Hip Hip Hooray!!!!

There are lots of severe symptoms that are both a shame and very amusing now... Just one of many and the last one, "released" just some days ago:


The new line of "magic" keyboard, touchpad and magic mouse 2 have now non- exchangable) batteries and an
Connector to charge them at the side of them. WAIT! no, the magic mouse2 has the connector UNDER the mouse! You can't use the mouse while you are working with it, although the mouse has the by far shortest battery life... For charging you have to put the mouse upside-down!

There are so much important and embarassing design-issues already existing since years, I could write about them for hours. But evidently apple fanboys like still the "form over function" fashion-style mad by Sandbox-Jonathan Ive... Apple has treated, atvleast forgotten its roots....

Would be sad if apple does still not comprehend that it is the customer and not apple who decides what form factor they need or want...

I think it is fair to say that Apple has done at least some level of market research concerning the buying habits of their customers. I am not saying you are wrong, but it is very possible that the target demographic isn't someone exactly like you. Or maybe it is. All I am saying is, if the phone isn't exactly what you wanted it to be, I am not sure that means Apple is out of touch. They've just targeted someone else.

I can ultimately see this going either way. The rumored timeline for this release has me feeling like this will NOT be a "smaller 6s" in every way (that counts) simply because I would think they'd just release three phones this coming fall. Or maybe not,. Again, I am not the marketing guy. :)
 
So did they quote the 6 plus battery life?

Did they quote better battery life? Same as 6 plus?

They quoted "incredible" battery improvements. I'll have to see the hours of battery life when they update their website.

Slide they flashed had LTE usage at 13 hrs which is higher than the 6S plus. Must have underclocked A9 for sure then
 
Lets see when it is released if its the same of better than the 5S below..

The slide they put up showed the 5s, 6s and the SE. It showed the battery the same "length" on a bar graph as the 6s.
 
The battery life will definitely be improved over the 5s. Look at this slide from the presentation earlier today. Notice improved battery life as one of the features.
