iPhone 6 battery draining fast

I do the following to maximize battery life:
- Background App Refresh: I keep the list as short as possible. Currently have 4 apps with this on.
- Location Services: I keep the list as short as possible. Currently have 12 apps as "Always" or "While Using".
- Notifications: I keep the list as short as possible. Currently have 16 apps with notifications. I turn off all diagnostics (Product Improvement) in the System Services.
- I close apps when not using.
- Display brightness when I am inside is set at about 30% -- more than bright enough for me to see the screen.
- Personal Hotspot off until I need it.
- Mail set to fetch hourly (manual even better, but hourly works well for me).
Other settings:
- WiFi is always on.
- Bluetooth is aways on as I am in / out of my car during the day.
Here is how my stats looked after a full day:
