Really? I have a 6+ and note 4 at the moment and the 6+ is winning the battery war at the moment.
Got a tip for us?

It took a few charges for the battery to settle. I'm already beyond my note 3 in battery life and I'm only on the third charge.
I could have told you that. Apple battery life is BAD. Just plain bad. And it's sad. Just plain sad.
Hey there Sam I am. I will not eat your green eggs and ham.
I use my iPhone 6 Plus a LOT especially now that my laptop is in the shop and I don't have an iPad. I'm constantly browsing in Safari, streaming video from Hulu, Netflix, CBS, or YouTube, or on long phone calls (seems I'm one of the few people who uses the "Phone" in iPhone) and I always use it as a Music player with my EarPods and I got about 9 solid hours of usage, and 12 hours of "Standby" (which includes the aforementioned 9 hours) with the display around 50-75% brightness today.
I think it's amazing. I never used my 5s as much as I do my 6 Plus and I'd be lucky to get 6-7 hours out of my 5s. I do a LOT more with my 6 Plus then my 5s and I get a minimum of 9 hours. (Reiterating for effect)
Pleased with the battery life is to say the least.

And you think you can guess when Anand was hired by Apple from this? Care to provide links so we can read too?
Please don't show the "usage time" info. It is next to useless in comparing battery life.
That's the thing. There is nothing in iOS stat that's useful in giving any meaningful info on battery life.
The only meaningful way to compare to android is to rely on full to empty drain test. There are many online reviews that have done that. Google it.
Umm, no one tricked you. Good battery life is subjective. My 6 has good battery life and my 4S had fair battery life. Others said the 4S had terrible battery life.
The 6 Plus shouldn't be terrible so I would check background process or location service usage (you can enable the location symbol to appear even with system services which is hidden by default and may be using your battery excessively).
If your 6 Plus is unsatisfactory then continue to use your note.
