what are your SOTs for your top Apps?
Here was my battery calibration run. 8h42m Usage / 24h41m Standby, moderate amount of camera usage, mostly used for communication and watching YouTube. Pretty impressed.
I agree with the idea that it takes a little bit for the battery to "break-in", it took about a week before the iPhone settled down and finished indexing/whatever it's doing after a restore.
I'm on iOS 10.1b2, iPhone 7 Plus.
I'm quite pleased with the battery life of my 7 (NOT PLUS) running 10.0.2
I have push accounts enabled, some background refresh on, and I only kill apps that ignore the background refresh toggle. I also have about 3 dots or signal all day and keep auto brightness on.

Why web browsing I make 9 hours while watching YouTube videos I only manage 6 hours is YouTube not optimised on the other hand streaming from websites still make 9 hours thanks
I've been thinking about the same thing. Does watching YouTube videos on the YouTube app drain more battery than watching them on the YouTube website? Can anyone confirm this?
How well does the battery life last with moderate use of Snapchat? I currently have the GS6E and Snapchat literally drains my battery so much I charge my phone 3/4 times a day! I'm currently waiting for iPhone 7 to be delivered and curious to know how well the battery will be? Any opinions?
Just chiming in here:
Got my iPhone 7 on launch day. Battery life was definitely better than my 6s until about 5 days ago. Now, for some reason the 7 isn't doing as well, just seems to lose battery from doing little on it.
Example - Was out yesterday and while on 3G was streaming Beats 1 while looking around Twitter. In total I did this for about 50 mins. Left the house at 46% and got home with 19%.
Today seems better but again some days the battery is great and others it just seems poor.

is the quality better on the YouTube app? maybe there's more data.
I was thinking more like more data b/c more ads and user tracking, whereas if a content blocker is implemented with Safari, that junk is being blocked and data is being saved.
I've had the opposite experience with mine. My 5S would be down to around 30% battery life 24 hours after a charge with my typical daily usage. My new 7 is currently sitting at 62% 24 hours after a charge with the same type of usage. Couldn't be happier with the improvement! iOS 10 on both.
Personally, I use a YouTube client, ProTube. I paid 1x and all ads are stripped out.
Yes, I was worried initially because it was getting about the same as my iPhone 6.
