Yeah sometimes during upgrades or some other abnormal occurrence, a settings file gets corrupted in the OS that can cause issues with battery life. The common solution for this is to "Reset All Settings," rather than a full restore, and it usually takes care of it.
Could be that he was one of the retail employees chosen to test it.

What router are you using? My wife's 6+ seems rock solid on our WiFi. We have an Airport Extreme (last gen).
UI Bugs
The biggest bugs I've noticed on my Iphone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 is some minor UI glitches. I dunno if this update will fix it but hopefully, if not then 8.2.

Sadly from the development history of iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks onwards, UI glitches has been an extremely low priority compared to other bugs that impede functionality...
Otherwise they would have at least solved the Mavericks' invisible Menu Bar on Dashboard bug already...
Actually, I think there's a good chance it will be released Wednesday. If it is indeed true that it was seeded to retail employees for testing last Wednesday, I can see Apple wanting to give them 1 week before releasing it to the public.
Apple, I know you are reading... Here's a few more bugs
iOS 8..., iphone 5s, Battery level above 40
While using runkeeper in sleep mode for about 45 minutes - there have been 3 recent instances when my iPhone would shut down when I turned it back on to review my results. The display would show the "Power icon with the plug" when I knew for fact that I had more that 25% battery left. I would try to power up the phone without power and the plug icon would appear again. When I provide power to the phone, it would start right up and the battery level would have been as high as 45% after immediate startup.
In other words, the phone is shutting down every time I would try to end run keeper with plenty of battery available - this has also happened using Strava.
The other problem, the iPhone is not always picking up on my steps and when I know have had a 12000 step day, it will have only recorded 800... steps more or less.
Hope my message helps you squash a few more bugs.

You're not crippling anything, you're deciding which apps are using data/cpu... Just like you decide to turn on your A/C in the summer or heat in the winter... You decide which station to listen to in your car, right?
While, I agree a lot of people may find that task daunting, once you show them it's pretty easy. Additionally, compared to Android (my Nexus') it's not "rocket science"... I've not used Windows Phone but I'm gonna bet it's also "rocket science"
Again, my 6 Plus is pretty amazing compared to my 5 which was decent but this is somewhat subjective and I'm not sure what your use case scenario is to compare battery life.

Can you please cite a source for "NOT significant"?
Having 100 apps do a background check 20 times a day will suck more battery power vs 10 apps doing a background check 20 times a day... I'm not pulling this out of my a$$ to be contrarian, I'm giving it as advice because I've used this to help friends who complained about battery life and had them report positive experiences...
le sigh
Huh! Is that a Apple bug or a RunKeeper bug. You do know Apple is not writing third party apps don't you? If the info is collected by Apple and then RunKeeper is just looking it up... Well, thaT's different, but that's not how RunKeeper used to work last time I checked. If it is an app bug, maybe you should try filing it with the App maker.
The Shutdown thing seems to be a battery calibration thing (often fixed by draining the battery completely). If the phone is near zero, it can power on, but then any use (phone call coming it, App), will use enough juice to shut it down again. That happens even if the battery is not really at the value it is reporting. Had the same issue, mine shut down at 25% (it was in fact at 0) and I could charge it over 100% (it only showed at 100% though); when over 100% it often took more than an hour to get under 100% even when browsing on 3G.
So, in fact, it isn't shutting down before its at zero, it is just not reporting the correct number.
Sounds like your battery is failing in all honesty. I was having similar issues, had a diagnostics done the other day when I got back from my holiday in Spain and it stated service battery. So, I went in store and had the battery replaced. Much better now!
I'd get onto Apple Support online and ask them to send you a diagnostic ticket and see if theres any issues that flag up
Willis -Thanks - I'll look into it..

Thanks, Keira.. I agree with what you are saying and I"m not always very good explaining the situation.. The battery value is indeed much higher when the phone shuts down.. When I do wake the phone from sleep mode, I can see the battery level at a very high level - the problem occurs with Wahoo Fitness, Runkeeper, and Strava and that is why I thought it was iPhone related.
All the opinions here help me narrow down on the issue and I would like to say that I appreciate everyones help in this forum.
I've been on iPhone since 3g and absolutely love it and I really have enjoyed ios 8 and especially "Health" app.
+1 bug with RunKeeper + iOS 8 on iP6!
I was like "WTF! 1% battery?" and the thing shuts down. Thankfully, RunKeeper saves its state.
people using other mail options suffer from this too. so no, its not a gmail issue...
Battery life appears better with 8.1.3.
Usage: 8 hours 6 minutes
Standby: 17 hours 2 minutes
3% remaining
With iOS 8.x.x, I don't recall ever getting better than a little more than 5 hours of usage time.
This really looks promising.
By the way. Stability on my iPhone 6 seems to be about the same as iOS 7.1.2. Which is saying A LOT.
The bummer is that the rotate bug on the 6 + hasn't been resolved in 12B460. We need to hope for a new build for that bug to be fixed in 8.1.3

Looks like it's not being released tonight. iOS 8.0-8.1 was okay on my iPhone 5, but iOS 8.1.1 onwards made it laggier. Things being said suggest it may improve some niggles, but we'll see.
I no longer want new features, I just want the old features to work responsively.

At what point did I say that I'm a Microsoft Fanboy? I simply implied I'm not an Apple Fanboy.
The reality is that this functionality worked under iOS7 with Exchange. Now under iOS8 it doesn't with no change to Exchange. Further it's also been reported as a problem with gmail. Face facts, Apple screwed something up here. It's obvious the changed something in the calendar app aside from just the graphics and whatever they did, it screws up timezone handling.
This is clearly a client side issue, moreover, an issue specific to iOS8. As such it is quite clear that Apple is the one who needs to fix their client. Stop being a fanboy and realize that apple screws up as well.
