I am profoundly dissatisfied with the battery life of my iPhone 6s Plus. I already tried calibrating the battery. This morning I reset all settings. As I write this, it is 1:25 PM and the battery is already down to 49%
Am I missing something?
I am asking myself the same question. However, the battery life of my iPhone 6s Plus is not only relatively worse than yours but objectively poor.
I have been trying to remedy the situation through the following measures:
(1) Calibrating the battery (a two-day process).
(2) Reset all settings.
(3) Using iTunes to restore the iPhone as new and then to restore an iTunes backup.
After resetting all settings I was able to achieve a Usage of "8 hr, 14 min" with 10% Battery remaining at 7:46 PM after having the phone on for 11 hours and 18 minutes.
I am on my first battery cycle after performing the restore. So far, after 3 hours and 18 minutes since I disconnected the phone from the power adapter the battery is at 79% with a Usage of "2 hr,10 min". Tomorrow I will be able to report what impact the restore had, if any.
To all of you getting excellent battery life, please let us know what Settings you believe are responsible for it.
I do not use Siri or Dictation. Most of the time the phone is connected to Wi-Fi. I use Auto-Brightness as recommended by Apple. Background App Refresh is On but it is used only for Google Maps, Notes, OneDrive, OneNote and PhoneDoctor. While Location Services is On, it is used only for Find My iPhone, Motion Calibration & Distance and Setting Time Zone.
Have you turned off Spotlight Search and/or Siri Suggestions? Have you selected Fetch or Manual on iCloud?
Your input would be appreciated.
My 6s Plus is doing great. Both times I checked, I got about 11.5 hours usage with about 17 + hours standby. I only have 2 apps on background App Refresh. Facebook is toggled off for location and Refresh. I also turned off video Auto play in Facebook. I have all off in system services except Find My iPhone. All unnecessary is off in location services. I try not to use cellular much. I never force close my apps unless one is misbehaving. I don't play a lot if intense games.

Wow..how do you achieve this? Are you always on Wifi?
Are all the services enable?
I'm on WiFi at home and on the network at work since WiFi is not allowed there.
Which services are you r feeding to? Location services is enabled for those apps that I need, but not all my apps. My screen is set to about 30%, my background refresh is enabled for some apps that I depend on but not all....for example I haven't got IMDB set to refresh or for location services but FB, Google, Safari, weather apps, news apps etc all are.
I'm just aware of where is weak signal and don't try to push the phone when I'm there, like for example, underground on the Metro. And of course I don't use it while I'm driving. Other than that, I use my phone normally. I'm constantly on it.
