Slightly longer=not enough.
I don't think Jonathan Ive really uses his phone much. That's why he's so blinkered when it comes to battery life.
Got a tip for us?

...teeny tiny nuclear reactors sealed in a tamper-proof lead shell.
If nothing else, you'd make damn sure to recycle them properly
Then get either a battery pack, a battery case, or the Plus model which has a longer battery life. 12 hours continuous use/1.5 - 2 days normal use (Which is what I guess the 6S battery life will be) is more than enough for most of us.
Would be nice to know how much more capacity one could even get if the battery was one mm thicker/longer or whatever. Can't be enough to satisfy power hungry users.
Battery technology is not at the point that we can expect huge advances, so the combination of larger batteries and less power usage is the current way to go. (Or a balance thereof)
Everybody uses their phone in a different way.
It should be obvious that at one point a battery has to be charged. Annoying concept, but that's where we are and it's not Apples fault that chemistry has it's limits.
All manufacturers have that issue.
Thanks Apple, we don't need the extra battery life as the optimisations are enough to match last gen or less.

I'm so getting crucified for this.

I think the apps will appear press quickly. I was impressed with Force Touch on the new MacBooks I saw at the store. I think it's the 3rd dimension of the touch screen.
If the betas so far are any indication, the battery life won't be much better in iOS 9.
I very much doubt I'll be picking up another iPhone for a long time. My 6 has been extremely disappointing and it is easy to see this NEEDED 2GB of RAM. I can't open a browser and not expect my hangouts app to close from lack of memory, that's really old. Then there is Apple's refusal to properly FIX the WIFI problems present since iOS 8 was released. Frequently I have to switch to mobile data to get things to load. 8.3 was supposed to fix it and it partially did, but it came back bad in 8.4.
I picked up a new Moto G 3rd gen for $220 (which has 2GB RAM) and it is a FANTASTIC device. My iPhone plus cost how many times that? I love my iPad Air 2, wouldn't use Android for a tablet for now, but the phone just doesn't have anything over the competition anymore. Extremely buggy software releases and lackluster hardware at a extremely premium price.

Increase the thickness/weight to 150% (or 200%) of what they'd like and give me better battery life and better camera lens (because it's thicker) and I'd be a happy camper.

Whats the point of putting 5S internals in a plastic case to sell for 1 year?????
I wish they'd just put 6S intervals in a 5S case. That would be perfection.
It's only 5.25% less battery. A little more efficiency and that could work. Seems like a lot of battery power for a smaller version of the iPhone.

Plus, a 6C would use the current 6 parts. Meaning there isn't really anything to leak unless a plastic back surfaces.
Really hoping for a 4" 6C, this could easily be the battery for that.
If this is true and Apple goes down in battery size it will be a terrible decision I don't care howuch better the processor is. Why can't we get a more efficient processor AND a larger more powerful battery?
The A9 is a die shrink, they can boost battery or take the performance; or take a bit of both. Last time, they went mostly for performance, but this time they could skew more on the size of saving power while still boosting performance (just a bit less).
Eh apple should be increasing the battery size in the 6 not decreasing it. My girlfriend has a 6 and her battery life is horrible. Pretty glad I went with the 6+
Well I'm assuming if Apple continues to have an entry level plastic iPhone the will need to update it with something. I mean I assume the point of the 5C was to eventually get it in the low end spot of the lineup and keep colored plastic for the low end. But perhaps the colored plastic goes and we get 5S free on contract and 6 drops to $99 on contract.
Thanks Apple for giving me fewer and fewer reasons to consider 'upgrading'
"Yo dawg, I heard you'd like to have a way better autonomy, so we made the next iPhone thicker and we put an even smaller battery in it..."
