This is my current battery stats at 50% and I think it's pretty good. I do have the TMSC chip. With heavy usage, your stats seem about right to me, but there are many factors and settings to consider.
If you are s heavy user and you don't need to charge till 11pm I call that great battery life
thinking off going to get myself a 6S plus today. it seems you can easily get a hold of one now without waiting/reserving!
how is everyone liking their 6S plus? if i'm gonna get one it has to be the 6S plus due to the 1080p screen and better battery. i've read reports of lag/frame drops but is it really that bad?

Still not sure about keeping mine because of the weight.
What do other people think of its weight?

I wouldnt worry about these lags because I saw some videos on youtube and it seems that on beta version of ios 9.2 they have it fixed. Anyways today is a wekk since I got my iphone and I wouldnt change it to any other phone at the moment. Battery is really good, you definitely will be getting full day with it.
I'm currently running iOS 9.2 Public Beta on my 6s Plus and Air 2.
Of the two devices I feel it performs slightly better on the 6s Plus than the Air 2.
Can't ever see myself going back to a screen size of 4.7" or smaller now.

Ok, this might not be relevant to a lot of people. The only downside for my usage moving from a 6 plus to a 6s - I needed a smaller and lighter phone- was the battery life, but I was given an Apple Watch for my birthday in August which was great and I love it, but it needs charging every night, so for me, the battery of the 6s is fine. I have to charge the watch each night, so I charge the 6s. I just needed it to get me through the day, which it does, and it does charge up really quickly. It suits me. I'm happy
I was wondering, have any of you gone to a store to see the iPad Pro yet? I might take a good look at one at the weekend or next week...
IOS 9.1 is starting to bug me...ive read about lag and Touch ID problems, but this has been the first problem ive encountered with my 6s so is hurting...
anyone have any tips? i really really really, do not want to fresh clean install, that includes agg, especially with banking apps, re-verify this and that etc etc etc..

A number of people are having Touch ID problems with iOS 9.1, unfortunately from what i've found you might have to wait for a new update from Apple because there doesn't seem to be a fix at the moment.
Edited: Replaced "Alot" with "A number of".

Users have complained about Touch ID taking too long, not working sometimes, having to place their fingers on the sensor more than once etc.
Not seen anything of the sort, I'm using 9.1 on my 5s and if anything TouchID seems quicker and more accurate than on older firmware.
Yes its not a problem that every iOS 9.1 user has but a number of them have complaints about the Touch ID feature not working properly.
Me too. I have both the 6s and 6s plus. Love the screen of course on the plus but don't like the weight or the thickness of it. I love the feel and weight of the 6s but miss the screen of the plus.
When I'm out and about I want the weight & portability of the 6s but the screen of the plus. I'm finding the plus is too cumbersome to pull out when I am out and therefore am not using it as much as I have the 6s. I'm talking about whilst moving about, once I'm stationary/sitting I love the 6s plus. I know these are problems of a ridiculous nature, but am finding it hard to stick to one or the other. If the plus was slimmer it would be great, it just seems like a lug of a phone compared to the refinement of the 6s. Maybe an iPad mini 4 and a 6s, dunno.
Good luck with your choice.
