iOS- rather than model-related, but...

My two daughters both have a 5c. Elder daughter has had hers a year, and it's incrementally reached 9.0.1. Younger daughter has just inherited her mother's two year old 5c and I've set it up from scratch with 9.0.2.

As far as I can tell both iPhones identically configured with regards to everything that impacts on battery life. The girls have very similar usage patterns, and if you look at the battery usage stats everything is broadly the same except for 'Home & Lock Screen': the 9.0.1 is 7% over the last 24 hours (and over the entire week), whereas the 9.0.2 is 22% over the last 24 hours (and 21% over the three days since 'commissioning').

The most obvious explanation is it's a 9.0.2 'feature' (of the 5c, at least) but I can't prove it without updating the 9.0.1 iPhone, which I don't particularly want to do for obvious reasons...

EDIT: or rather than being a 9.0.1/9.0.2 difference, it's down to incremental installs from 7.1.x onwards vs fresh 9.0.2 install.
Check notifications. The home/lock is shown when a notification is received as it turns on the screen.

You can either go nuclear and turn off notifications for each app or disable the show on lock screen so it wont wake up the phone.

Check out this battery on my 6S though... Medium usage (By the way, I turned airplane mode on right before I screenshot this)

That's good. I get about 8h use and 28h standby with my medium usage and I'm happy with that. It seems to be getting better and better and iOS 9.1 pb4 seems to be kind to it.
 
Nothing, its seriously eating battery on everyones phone. I use it as much as the BBC news app which only uses 1% but Facebook often goes upto 80% usage. Just delete it and use the safari site instead.
Weird

Only takes up,about 1-2% on average
 
Hey everyone.
Is it just me or has anyone else's wallet - passbook too stretched / zoomed in for the 6s screen?
On my 5C before I upgraded it was perfect sized. It also didn't keep asking me to add an Apple Pay card because Barclays doesn't support it yet.
It's frustrating me massively because it was fine before! Anything I'm doing wrong?

Can you set up from an iPad backup? I'd be coming frm android but it would be handy to have the iPhone mirror the iPad settings etc.

Also how are google services on it? Is there any way to get push email in particular, since Google dropped exchange support? Not a huge fan of the gmail app but could use it just for notifications and then use the actual mail app for reading/replying?

It's apparently a known issue and there are other dedicated threads on it. I think it affects those upgrading from a 5 to a 6. It looks like the zoom functionality is reversed. If you put you phone in zoom mode it should fix it but it will put everything else in zoomed mode. I don't think there is any other solution to it right now and you may have to wait for Apple to release an update to fix the bug.

I don't think you can. I'm pretty sure there was someone else on these forums who tried it and it didn't work. For one thing iPad only apps wouldn't transfer over as they aren't designed to work on a phone. There may be other compatibility issues too. I'm not 100% sure but I believe this to be the case.
 
Here's my status so far:

1. Placed order on 18/09 for iPhone 6S+ 64GB Silver, 3-4 week delivery window.
2. 3 weeks later: Preparing to ship 07/10.
3. Shipped 08/10, due for delivery 13/10
4. It's currently departed from Germany at 5am yesterday, no new status in more than 24 hours.
5. UPS Delivery Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/9Cw9cqK.png

Maybe there's no movement because it's Sunday, just strange that it's showing as departed from Germany.

I have checked my serial number from my Apple Support Profile, and it was manufactured in Week 40, so between 28/09 and 04/10. Kind of glad I'm getting one that's been manufactured recently, might be able to avoid certain manufacturing issues that launch models have like that yellow tint or the dark blotch on the bottom left of the displays.
 
Any tips on getting uk stock? Looking the space grey 64gb 6s plus which seems scarce at the moment
 
Mrklaw, all plus stock seems scarce across the board.

I am checking regularly to reserve in store but with no luck. I have ordered online with a 2-3 week estimate but would really like to pick one up earlier if possible.

Keep checking on the Apple Store for reservations. Yesterday I was just browsing and reserved a 128gb rose gold plus in Manchester. You are right they are scarce according to Apple staff but they can appear anytime for pick up.
 
Agrh, I've had my iPhone 6s+ 128gb Rose Gold ordered since the 27th and no change on my order yet.
I've got all my accessories ready minus a case that's on preorder, just killing me not being able to just dive into it all!

Kinda new to the wait, every other Apple device I've ever owned has been ordered at least 5-6 months after release...

what was the estimated wait when you ordered? :), sounds like the rose gold is by far the hardest to get atm though I don't know if that's down to numbers ordered or numbers produced, seems it's a 3-4 week wait on any of the rose gold models atm unfortunately. :(
 
23rd-30th October estimated delivery. Half wishing I'd ordered another colour at this point :mad:

I suppose the main reason for my frustration is that I sold my iPod Touch 5th Gen last week and now I have no portable music player (my iPad isn't exactly practical when walking around town). I have a phone to hand but it's one of those godawful £10 phones from o2 that I got 2 years ago lol :p

ouch, I ordered my 128GB 6s+ Space Grey on the 24th and it should hopefully be delivered on the 14th, to my knowledge the 6s+ is just hard to get in any colour :(. hopefully you might see a closer delivery date after a few days depending on orders cancelled and stuff like that though.

haha well my phone broke last week so I have nothing, might have a cassette player in a cupboard somewhere :p

Known issue when restoring from backup from certain devices. Think it was on MR homepage with workaround.

You will now get it a day earlier Tuesday instead of Wednesday :)

I checked on Friday morning and there was limited 6S+ stock at a handful of stores (mainly the 16GB at 6am). I checked around 09:30 on the off chance and most stores had most sizes but not all colours. When I arrived at Covent Garden to pick up my reservation in the late afternoon, there appeared to be people joining the queue who hadn't reserved.

What model? I've got a pin set so would know if mine was restarting, hasn't happened yet to mine (64GB regular s on iOS 9.0.2).
 
My status updated during the night, the phone reached my local hub and at 1am it said out for delivery, then it updated at 6am and that information was removed and replaced with just the fact that it had been scanned at my local hub except now it's scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday.

So its come across the world with no delays and now that it's really close to me its going to sit in the hub for 2 days. Wow, that's stupid.

mine has also reach my local hub and is currently scheduled for delivery Wednesday, I can only hope it's wrong as that makes no sense
