why does the battery drain so fast

I'm constantly charging this phone and it is very discerning because I don't have chargers everywhere I go. It seems like you can only use it for maybe a couple hours and you have to charge it again!

Re: why does the battery drain so fast

What phone are you referring to? If you recently updated it, you might need to do a clean install. Sometimes you get a bad install with updates and have to do it over again.

Is it a new phone and you are playing on it non stop cause it's new? I know personally if I am on my 6 for 3 or four hours solid downloading and whatever else it needs a plug in... But that's not "normal" use

That's true. Apple never goes big on batteries, so if you're a heavy user it won't last long.

I get 2.5 to 3 days from a full charge on my IPhone 6+, so whilst earlier iPhones were notorious for been wallhuggers that is no longer the case, at least for the 6+ anyway.

You're not a heavy user then. And even so, they only finally got a semi decent battery with their phablet.

If I use the phone heavily by watching Netflix movies or when I used to play Plants vs Zombies heavily on it I still managed to get over a days use on it with all my other normal days usage added on to it too, so the 6+ does have a much longer battery life than all previous IPhones.
