Of course not, becuase you're not using the same controlled environment that they use in their lab. The point is that they place all these phones UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS so that you can see the relative difference between the different models. They're not saying that you are going to get X hours on your handset while you have cellular searching for a signal, miscellaneous background functions running etc.
Op is gone. Trolled and now he's off to determine his next thread he wants to start.
Facebook, facebook messenger and Skype are three of the most notorious battery draining apps in iPhone history.

I never understand these threads. There are way to many variables to say this one is better than the other etc.
App usage, app efficiency, your connection, etc. It's apples and oranges almost.
You know you had this phone turned off for an extended period of time. (Or airplane mode)

Right, I had my phone, which I depend on more than my own brain, powered off completely and/or off-network for nearly 2 days, while still somehow managing to get my push e-mail to be the biggest drain on battery, magically. And then I kept the screen on and doing nothing else for 16 whole hours. Because I had nothing better to do than tap a phone every couple minutes to keep it awake and doing nothing for that long.

ok, I'm going to get the iPhone 6, and if the battery life sucks....
well. just better hope it doesn't

Well so you know: Mine is a 6 Plus. Bigger battery. Kinda thought the ginormous screen shot gave that away, but guess not.
Considering that Anandtech was the first guy to objectively measure iPhone 4 antennagate signal loss, the first to write about retina screen burn-in issues, and reported that the first retina iPad 3 actually decreased in battery life, I think you have little to worry about with Anandtech. He's never been shy of Apple criticism, or praise. That is why they value his opinion. If they thought he was a spineless yes-man, they'd have never hired him.
Even if he was biased, you could throw out his opinion and editorial. The objective tests aren't subject to bias and can be repeated by anyone. That's the whole purpose of the testing, to remove personal opinion.
I don't think someone with vested interest can be non-bias. I re-read some of recent articles on the site which is now much more reserved in highlighting the negatives of iphone but at the same time drummed up the negatives of competing phone.
I recently made the switch from a Galaxy Note 3 to an iPhone 6 Plus and I can honestly say I get a day and a half of battery life with moderate use. No complaints here really. I think any Android user that has made the switch and is giving iOS an honest chance should see decent battery life. If this is just a troll post then carry on then.
Yeah, like when he stuck a Galaxy S4 in the freezer in a blatant attempt to get it to score higher benchmarks. If there is any bias there, it's against Apple.
Now it's your turn to give me one blatant example of bias towards Apple. And you better be specific. Then we will all see what you consider "Apple bias".

I'll bite. In the Anandtech Note4 review - final words
"Overall, one shouldnt have any significant issues with the software but Apple definitely has an edge in the polish department, even if the functionality isnt as extensive."
- No examples given about why is it so?.
"the AMOLED display is an equal to the 1080p display in the iPhone 6 Plus."
- sounded like the QHD Note4 amoled has to work hard to be equal but in fact in many reviews from other websites like Displaymate, it is the Ip6+ that has to play catch up.
, but the higher resolution of the display means that battery life will slightly trail behind the iPhone 6 Plus.
- Really...I thought it is the other way round

I miss iPad style of gestures in the iPhone. E.g. To jump between applications by swiping with 3 or 4 fingers would really improve the possibility to multitask. Really dislike to double click and scroll horizontally. Is there a way to get this?
This!
I came from a Note 3. My iPhone battery is WAY better and I am a heavy user (internet, that is). LOL And the OS is much more stable!
Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. Screw the candies and the apples, please don't screw me out of a dead beat iP6 battery.
That's the best you can come up with? Your first example is obviously an area in which he states his opinion. Doesn't count. Show me an example where Anand states a lie or tweaks test results to show Apple in a better light.
Display is also not a good example of bias because that reflects what is important to the individual. For example Displaymate places a huge importance on what is important to the specific user. For example, the guy from Displaymate is huge on the importance of blacks. He is "biased" in that direction and his bias leads him to say that the Note 4 is a better display. Anand is biased towards color accuracy, brightness, reflectivity, etc because they are more important to him. So he thinks the Apple phones are better.
But my point still stands. You can disagree with Anands "bias" but his objective tests are just that, objective. If they weren't, his credibility would implode. Unlike you, I can discern the difference between objective tests such as reflectivity or contrast ratios and obvious bias like Displaymate weighting blacks and contrast huge to beat Apple.
