iPod touch Ipt6 Standby vs SE

[DrakeRavensmith]

I've been looking at getting a 128GB IOS device. I only want to use it to listen to audiobooks and radio plays via bluetooth. I’ve quite a large collection already formatted to m4b. The device it's replacing only had to be charged once a week and I’d like to keep to that. Boost mobile has the SE for 200 and Apple regularly has the ipt6 for 250 refurbished. I’ve borrowed a ipt5 and a SE from friends. The 5 seems to behave like my old 4 battery wise. The SE has had all the power saving tips I can find applied to it and still the power trickles away when not in use. Even in airplane mode. The larger battery is negated by the power drain making it get roughly the same run time as the 5. I suppose I could turn it off but that seems like such a hassle to have to wait while it powers on.

I keep reading that the 6 has a terrible battery but I’d like to know how much battery trickles away when it’s not been used for a day or two. Also how much does the battery go down in say 2 hours of Bluetooth use? Can anybody help out?

My nearly 2 yr old iPhone SE doesn't have a power trickle when in airplane mode. If you have a stock iPhone SE (no additional apps installed), put it in airplane mode, and have background processing turned off and you are seeing the power drop more than 1-2% over a 8-12 hour period then there is something wrong.

The SE only has a battery app installed. I suppose I could delete it (with permission) and try that. However, I have a 4s laying around that I used to use to play clash of clans on. The battery would wane after 3 or 4 days despite the app only being on for 20 mins a day. On airplane mode it would last much longer but there was still that persistent trickle from day to day.
