Tips to improve battery life on 6S?

[boto]

Did you restore your phone through iCloud, iTunes, or did you set up as a new phone? If you happen to restore it through iCloud then you might experience a bug that drains your battery quicker.

I did a restore from a backup using iTunes connected to my iMac, too much data I had on my iPhone 6 that I didn't want to lose by setting the phone as new (health data etc etc)


Is that bug going to be fixed in a future software update?

The screen brightness and cell phone reception are two large modifiable factors for poor battery life. But the biggest one is user expectations.

Android has poorer battery life in my experience than an iPhone unless you buy one that has a honker 3500 mah battery built-in.

So what I am saying is that the iPhone battery life that you're experiencing is likely what it is. And it would probably be worse if you went to a different phone, unfortunately that's the state of battery tech today.

So these are my battery stats so far, Facebook appears to be using my battery by doing stuff in the "background"? How's that possible though because I have background app refresh completely disabled on my iphone 6S and I don't have push notifications enabled for Facebook, location services for facebook are disabled as well..

Do my stats look normal?

Yea I have same question. Why do some apps say background when I don't have background app refresh on at all?

Exact same battery performance as last years 6 for me.

The phone just came out people are using the new features and iOS 9, it's the same battery life but people are not realizing they're using their new phones more in this weekend than they did their old phones a month ago.

is that when it died? nearly 7 hours usage doesnt seem bad...but yeah i suppose 10 hours standby could be better but if it lasts pretty much all day thats what matters

I also have these unnecessary services disabled under system services, does that look normal or maybe disabling one of these services may be causing battery drain?

Put the clock app in a folder as the live clock icon uses gpu animation

There are known issues with the Facebook app where it continues to run in the background even with background refresh toggled to off. IIRC, you have to completely kill the app for it not to do that...

The rest of your stats look fairly regular, though 42 minutes spent in Settings? Seems like a lot, haha.

I found that the Motion Calibration and Compass Calibration tended to activate a lot on my phone, and in the case of one of them (I think motion) it seemed to go off every few minutes as almost every time I looked at my phone, I had the location services icon up in the status bar.

As of right now I only have "Cell Network Search", "Find my iPhone" and "Setting Time Zone" toggled to on in System Services and I rarely ever see the icon anymore.
