Battery Life on 8.1

[Ledsteplin]

Time to make the 6 move Led lol.

Yep! Hopefully in January! 3 more months. And after all the reviews here and elsewhere I've read, I still don't know which one I'll get. I want the Plus, but it's not going to fit in many pockets. When January gets here, it's going to be one big...

My iPhone 6's battery life on 8.1. I am impressed.

Wow! That's an iPhone 6? How do you get such good life from it? Mine is a few posts above but no way it'd last over a day.

The first day with 8.1 on my 6+ had me a tad concerned as the battery seemed to drain faster than usual. I drained the battery to the point the phone shut off, then I plugged in 'til it was fully charged. That seemed to do the trick for me: battery life is at least as good as it was on 8.0.2.

Yes, I'm currently in the process of draining my battery. I hope it improves my battery life as well.

Yeah I like the idea of the 6+ but I don't like the idea of carrying it around

Same here. I was not quite ready for the Plus this time around. Happy with the 6 for now. I may change my mind the next time around.

I haven't really noticed anything with 8.1, but then again I'm coming from an iPhone 5 that just prior to upgrading I was charging it a couple of times a day.

Just got my iPhone 6 Monday used it heavy all week battery life seems fine here.

That's me now. My 5 needs charging at least twice a day. But I'm on it almost non stop.

Same here I charge my 5s at least twice. It's always in my hand when not on the charger

Is this a 6 Plus?

 

[tekjunkie28]

Same restore just now. I used to calibrate my nexus how would you do this to iPhone?

I've done ALoT of research in this. There's really no way. The battery's tats file on android is proof that android is crap.

You'll make it. I get great battery life like u do! Awesome device.

Yep. This is the best battery life I have every gotten on any device. My 5 would last a day with about 5 hour usage so I suppose I am one of the lucky ones.

I get about 3 hours of playing modern combat 5 on my 5S...

Since allowing my 5s battery to drain to 0% and allowing a full charge to 100%, my battery life is noticeably much better. I would say it's better than iOS 8.0.2 at this time. Thanks for the tip iMore members....SMILE

What I do is set up my new iPhone as new. I do not set-up from back-up. I tried setting up from back up with my iPhone 6 this time around and got horrible battery life. I then did a restore and set up as new and got great battery life on 8.0.2.

When 8.1 debut, I upgraded through iTunes. I never upgrade OTA. I would rather get the full update rather than a patch that is added to 8.0.2.

I also go to privacy>location services>system services and turn off most of the junk that comes turned on on iOS. I leave find my iPhone on though for obvious reasons.

Finally, I run my battery all the way down to the single digits and recharge to 100 a number of times and then I am good to go.

Here's my usage for today. Even better than yesterday.
