That's what I was thinking as well. Didn't they put a similar size battery in the 5 series phones? We could be looking at a 5CS battery here.
Got a tip for us?

You guys don't remember that guy who kept posting "There is no 5.5 inch iPhone." over and over with all the people who agreed with him? WTH. Now granted he was embarrassed into having to leave the forum after the keynote, lol, but still.
I'm sure it works great for them at the Cupertino office. After all, they have a cell tower on site.
Other environmental elements that affected Cupertino design included their having ubiquitous WiFi way back when (so 2G was considered "okay"), and nice warm weather so that no gloves are ever needed that would interfere with touchscreen usage.
Perhaps Apple needs to move some engineers to some backwoods Northeastern town. *grin*
The 6s will have the same Battery Life as the 6 with 100 less mAh. The A9 and New Screen will be more than enough in mAh savings. Your 6s will be no different than your 6 in the Back Woods. As long as your not on top of Old Smokey you're good.
You're right. This battery is probably for the 6S Plus....
Phil did say that they don't think battery life is really that important. I wouldn't put it past them.
Apple has never allowed this. Even their laptops are difficult or impossible to change the battery. You can complain about it, get enough people to petition Apple to change their ways, switch to Android, or deal with it. Like it or not, it's the Apple way to upgrade upgrade upgrade. I'm not saying i agree with their tactics, but it's working, they are making a ton of money so why change their ways?
I disagree. Battery life has stayed the same, but Apple is increasingly making things smaller. That takes a lot of resources and technology improvements to keep doing that every year.
There is nothing defective about making something smaller. You're just being dramatic. Apple certainly does get a percentage of my income with all the stuff I've bought from them. They make good products. You can criticize me all you want, but you bought the iPhone as well. What does that say about you?
We can assume price is a factor in terms of maintaining margins.
Adding Force Touch, higher grade aluminum and more aluminum (thicker) increases Apple's cost to manufacture. If they want to maintain those margins and have big numbers on quarterly calls, they need to find ways to cut cost. Battery is a good place to do it, as it is under the hood.
The real low side is Apple Watch when paired with iPhone does impact battery life even, and Apple not increasing battery life gimps the customer experience for both the Apple Watch and iPhone.
Good job, Tim Cook!!!
Maybe...but it also has a much larger Screen then any iPhone prior to the iPhone 6...
So for those that use the Phone much: iP6 Battery Life < iP5 Battery Life...for those who hardly use it the contrary may be true...I would not know as I use it pretty much all the time so I hardly get thrue the day without recharging...meh.
Batteries are not that expensive so cost shouldn't be a factor at all when deciding if Apple should increase the size.
I can get an iPhone 5 battery and tools for 20.00 change it myself while Apple charges 80.00
It would not cost Apple much to put a larger 2800 mh battery in the next iPhone 6s. What it boils down to is how can Apple cut costs and the battery is always the loser.

Really? In my experience the 6 has much better battery life than any previous iPhone I've owned. Sure, it could still be better, but it's the only iPhone I've owned that can actually last all day even with fairly heavy use.
Breaking:
Rumours suggest that MacRumors users - just like future iPhone models - are getting thicker.
1080p or something, right? Of course I remember him. I was simply saying that the guy was wrong stating there were no part leaks. Those of us who pay attention know when something is coming. That being said I've also written for 9to5Mac in the past so I might not be the typical person on these forums as I take an above average interest in technology. I connect really complex dots like "5.5 inch iPhone display leak might mean there is a 5.5 inch iPhone coming." Mind blowing stuff, haha.
Well my previous iPhones usually had a Mophie case on them. Also, are you sure you're not taking about the plus, because I know that phone has amazing battery life.
If Apple will produce an iPhone 6C, I think it's a safe bet that all features will be at least up to iPhone 5S specs and some features (including Apple Pay) will be up to iPhone 6 specs. For example, it could have the camera either from the 5S or the 6. It won't have the optically stabilized camera from the 6 Plus because of the need to keep costs down. I don't expect an iPhone 6C to have Force Touch or any other features that exceed the specs of the iPhone 6.Just don't cripple the 6c camera okay Apple? Just because the phone will be smaller, doesn't mean it has to be inferior.
The only time I fall below 70% charge with my iPhone 5S is when I use GPS for navigation. I often have more than 90% remaining at the end of the day.
At that rate, a wife who is great in the kitchen, great in bed, obedient, intelligent, doesn't suffer from PMS, never complains, looks like a Playboy model, and has a trust fund is merely satisfactory. Good would require that she would still look like a 20 year old Playboy model when she's 90. I think you'll go through life disappointed unless you bring your battery life expectations into alignment with reality.
90% left by end of day? You don't use your phone plain and simple. The rest of your post is too much personal info we don't need to know.
Same like at&t: "we don't want to pay 100M to FCC since consumers like to be throttled. "
I hope some competitor comes up with a super cool phone with 96 hours battery life and kill Apple Iphone completely.
Apple isn't listening to its customers. They think we have to listen to them!
The only reason I'm still using Iphone is iOS. And because Android sucks.
Yes, it's iOS that's saving the Iphone and not the thinness or coolness or whatever.
If somebody comes up with a better phone OS, Iphone will be history.

Why the obsession with thinness at the expense of battery life?
Let me guess .. because Apple is a gay company which prefers looks over function.
Or for some reason they want us to spend more money on Mophie phone battery cases?
Why should we be charging our phones every day?
Imagine going to the gas station to top up your car every day.
Like going to the gas station, we should be charging our phones once a week, or at most once in 3 days.
