I know ... I'm on 10.0.2 ... just did a complete erase data and settings for a carrier unlock ... that's about all NOTHING else seems to be any different than I'm used to.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 7 battery life

So a couple of weeks in what's the general consensus on the alleged better battery on the 4.7 model ? Still undecided on upgrading from my 6S, if Apple's figures are right (up to two hours better and on a battery on par with the 6S Plus version ??) I'd probably go for it.
I have attached a screen shot after I used iTunes to reset some settings and reinstall iOS. However, I still think it might be low.

The first 24 hrs or so would be unreliable, I would think with all the restoration processes, but if you don't get better after normal use for a few days, you may want Apple to take a look at it.
I have to say, the iPhone 7 battery life isnt great. Its nowhere near the numbers Apple present on their homepage. 13 hours of 3G surfing bla bla, are you kidding me? The phone drops 40% from one hour of surfing!
Yep it certainly seems to drain fast. I might replace it once they are in stock in the stores.
My 7 (I said I wouldn't get one and I lied to myself I think ) isn't very good compared to my 6s. Hopefully it improves I have only had it since Sunday so time will tell if it gets replaced.
isn't that normal with phones?
then again, i had a £200 phone from years ago, and the iPhone 5s, now.
No? I'm at 1hr 51 minutes of usage and ok only down to 91%
That is on my 6s plus. I also have a pos note 5 that get slightly less but I've had to turn off most stuff bc android is just crap.
The longest I've ever went without charging my 6s plus was 3 days. I hit about 14 hours usage time on that.
as i said my phones are old, now i have the iphone 5. do you remember a battery life improvement when upgrading from the iphoen 5 to the 6s?
[doublepost=1475608652][/doublepost]my battery lasts about 9 hours, that's with minimal usage
Oh gosh yes!!! I has the iPhone 4 4s and 5. I loved them all but the battery like was garbage. I was lucky to make it to 3pm on a single charge. My wife has the 6s and she's ok with the battery. She uses it a lot and get through most days on a single charge.
Now the 6 plus and the 6s plus is where battery life is at. I have NEVER went to bed with more then 50% battery until the pluses. When I was working I would normally end the day with 35-45% battery left. Now that I'm a stay at home dad I really don't use them much until night time when I'm relaxing on the couch
. I woke up this morning with 64% battery from charging yesterday morning.I always thought it was normal to avoid using my phone during the day as that's the only way my battery would lastOh gosh yes!!!

Lol No no. I can use my phone for a continuous 12 hours before I need a charge. You definitely need to upgrade and not just because of the battery either. What carrier do you have?I always thought it was normal to avoid using my phone during the day as that's the only way my battery would last
I plan to get the iPhone 7 soon, I'm becoming a photography fan so I deffo need to upgrade! The iphone 5's camera is amazing
Nah, I'm sure you'd agree it sucks.
[doublepost=1475612268][/doublepost]it doesn't even have a friggin' front flash! you mad?
I love that the 7+ as atopographic lens so you can optical zoom, htta' hwat i love the most <3
This is an example, regular 7 (4.7) I keep brightness usually at 50% or below indoors and have airplane mode on mode of the time, but seems great

7 hours on the 6s on iOS 9 or iOS 10? Asking because iOS 10 seems to kill battery life.
Only had the 6s on iOS 10 for a few days and didn't notice that much difference in battery life than before.
I'm defn getting better battery on the 7 compared to the 6S, of course YMMV.
