Looks like battery/usage from a 7 mentioned in another battery life thread is even somewhat better:

Ahhhhh sooooo. I was thinking you had found the flashlight and were wandering around in dark impressed LOL.Flash light is the notification light that i keep forgetting to turn off
That's a feature I would vote for as "most annoying feature". Imagine being in a meeting with iPhone screen down on table and the flash going off dozens of times as you get messaged. Now imagine everyone's iPhone doing that in meeting. That would be funny.
Some settings are buried four and five layer deep. Use something one or twice a year I search for a while to find em.
The battery life of my iPhone 7 Plus is insane. I'm coming from an iPhone 6S and previously I'd have to charge the phone twice a day. I've had my iPhone 7 Plus for over 24 hours now and it's still going after the initial charge - I'm actually on 43% to be precise. I'm honestly blown away by it. This was more than enough of a reason for me to upgrade; I now get 'extras' such as a faster phone, bigger screen size, better camera, water-proofing and much more!
Edit: for those curious, I'm a gamer (play heavy duty games like Vain Glory), watch Twitch for hours at a time whilst working, use Safari a lot, use Facebook a lot, Snapchat and what-not. I went to upload a screenshot, but for some reason the phone think it hasn't been fully charged yet - if that's the case, then wtf? I'm going to get even more battery usage?!

I'm my experience, most usage time I've got was 5 hours. What was disappointing is that background music playing counted towards that usage time. So I would be off charger at 7 am and after a gym session during my lunch I would be looking at 40% battery left with at least 8 more hours to go. Although, battery life is better it is still not satisfactory to my needs. To the 7 plus I go.
Ao after a few more days, i have to say battery life is pretty inconsistent to be honest. Sometimes i charge every lther day sometimes i charge twice a day. Seems dependent on if i watch youtube or not...
I'm still on my first day with my 7 but the battery life first impressions have been good. I'm at 45% and have been using it intensively since 2 PM.
Here's mine from a MB 256gb iPhone 7. You can't see the high power draw items since they are towards the top, but I had 1 hour of Music time in the gym, mail, safari, facebook, iMessage, and about 45 mins of phone calls. I'm going to drain it all the way, then reset the network settings and test again tomorrow. I did a clean install.

my husband is not impressed with his IP7 battery life... he's a heavy gamer(pokemon ho , Clash royale , clash of clans) .. it last him 12hrs standby... he told me his note 7 is better .... im not sure with IP7+ .. should it have a better battery life than the IP7?
the 7+ has a larger battery so in theory it should last longer than the regular 7.
My 7+ is horrible, at least so far. I haven't screencapped any usage stats, but recharging it is incredibly slow. I had it down to about 12% when I left the Apple Store at 8 pm after an appointment about replacing a defective Pencil, and since being connected to a charging cable non-stop with minimal usage, it's finally up to 99% at 1:24 am. That seems an insane amount of time to recharge, at least compared to every other iPhone I've ever owned (which is every one since the 3GS). I'm going to recalibrate the battery meter again tomorrow and if it doesn't improve, back it goes.
Of course Note 7 is better, you can't compare a phablet with a huge screen and battery with a 4.7" phone and a 1,900 battery. If he's a heavy gamer iP7+ will be just better for both battery life and screen size...
Didn't snap a pic last night but after 7hrs usage and 15ish hours standby I was sitting at 20%. That's way better than my 6 ever did. I'm quite happy so far with battery life
