Is battery life that much of an issue?! I'm only saying this because I had a note 3 and it was rooted, I had greenify installed and could get 2 days usage out of it. I'm not what people call a power user, whatever the hell that means, but I did use my phone a lot. Now I have a 6+ and I plug it up nightly usually at 65-70 percent left til death and I'm not concerned. Shouldn't ease of use and function weigh heavier over how long it'll last? Especially since these devices are a lot lighter and sleeker than the devices say 20 years ago. And if I'm to stand corrected isn't there enough portable power sources being made to compensate that?!

I understand what you're saying to a degree -- however, what good is a phone that has great in ease of use and function if it is always dead? Or what good is a highly capable phone if you have to limit what you use it for to conserve battery?

I for one would prefer the phones to be a tad thicker with more batter life. Example is the Motorola droid turbo -- that phone by no means is uncomfortably thick but battery life is outstanding. It is a great looking phone and is still able to get almost 2 days of use.

Apple and Samsung seem to be in a race to see who can make the thinnest phone -- it's about bragging rights and marketing.

Prior to the Kitkat update, my Note 3 battery life was 2 to 3 days on a single charge, worked like a dream.
After the Kitkat update, battery life went to 3 to 4 HOURS, couldn't text or email pics, couldn't receive emails, and my browser froze, pages simply would not load.

I'm loving my iphone, hehehe...

The 6 plus has excellent battery life. I can leave home for a night out or go out to eat and watch a movie with 30 % and I know that it will last me until I get back home.
