Jeah there have been many Battery threads with questions about the Battery life of the iPhone 6 but mine is a little different.
I don't have the usual drain problem when in standby but rather when in use.
And I don't mean any special use case like watching YouTube Videos playing games or using GPS.
My battery drains like crazy within these use cases (maybe as much as others do too) but also when I just use the stop watch. I lose 1% battery in about 2 mins and 30 seconds (normal settings nearly everything turned on except e-mail push)
I did restore the iPhone and did the test again and I got nearly the same result.
Even when I only listen to a Podcast I lose 1% every 4-5 minutes (display turned off)
The standby times are quite normal (maybe -4-5% over 8 hours during the night).
When I surf the web for like 1 hour I'm at 75% Battery (but I find the stopwatch test more interesting because it is easier to compare).
Some friends did the test (with nearly the same factory default settings, so no super duper save the battery settings) and they sometimes get 4-5 minutes per 1% battery in stopwatch mode.
I did the test only with 2 friends who got the iPhone 6, but maybe someone in here is willing to give some more test-data?
Maybe I missed a thread where somebody experienced something similar?
Is there something wrong with the battery? Will Apple do anything about it when I contact them (I read different storys...) or are they only doing there battery diagnostic test and send it back to me?
I'm just not so happy and I noticed that I change my habits when using the phone ("don't use it, it'll lose battery...") and this sucks..
Thanks for every reply!
Ah - I tried iOS 8 and iOS 9 (final) but there isn't any noticable difference, maybe 10 seconds...
Edit:
Just in case someone is interested, right now after a day where I used the iPhone only with light stuff I'm at 26% after 5hours 18mins of usage - most of the usage time the display was turned off and I listened to some podcasts.
I don't now why but this does not feel as it supposed to be or am I completely wrong?
