After having some quirky issues with my 8 Plus, Apple exchanged it for me last week, but this one *seems* to have poorer battery performance then the first, but I hate to bring up what might just be an issue in my mind and try to acquire a third phone.

Having read a battery review elsewhere that the phone lasts through an hour of Netflix use on 11%, I tested it myself (on wi-fi) and got through an hour on 12%. But elsewhere, the phone burns through 1% of battery about every ~3 minutes while scanning Facebook/Instagram, texting, checking emails, (essentially any normal, non-video streaming use). I don't feel like the first phone used it up that quickly, but again, could be a figment of my imagination.
