How is the 6s+ battery life so far?

[LadiJae]

It's awesome for me! Coming from the 6 ... I get around 12 hours with moderate usage ...

How are getting eight hours of usage with no screen time for those apps? Are there a grip of apps that aren't shown?

I listen to a lot of music in my car.

My 6s battery lasts just a little under my 6plus, very close but does fall behind. I also noticed that I receive a weaker signal reading on my 6s plus that may have something to do with it.

I have noticed weaker signal a lot with my 6S Plus well at least with the reading on the phone. In some cases old phone got full bars where I get one now. Battery life is less by at least 20%.

There's no way you can know that about that battery yet - you will have to give it a few weeks. Apart from the initial spotlight indexing which will use battery, you will also be using the phone a lot more given that it's new.

I setup 6s+ phone as new with no restore of any backups. Battery life was not nearly as good as 6+. Waited a week. It didn't improve. I had to charge late afternoon every day. I did all of the tips to maximize battery.

Backed up, restored as new. Restored backup. Second day and battery life seems as good as 6+.

Some apps didn't restore so had to simply reinstall. All app data was retained in backup. Small inconvenience to get back great battery life.

Better than my 6 Plus but I also switched carriers and get a much better signal than I used to. I'm sure that plays a part.

Nice try!

I couldn't come close to this with my 6 plus. I'm loving the 6s plus so much. Plus T-Mobile has outdone themselves with the new LTE; I'm glad that Apple added the band!

Anyone with bad battery life verify what CPU they have? TSMC vs Samsung...

I would say my battery life isn't great most days. I have TSMC chip. FYI: use the legit app to check not the unsigned one just to be safe.

Same here about 18 hours of fairly constant use and then I have 20% left. Brightness setting usually half way. It is a beast I really love this phone even so much more rhan the 6plus! :kiss:

Geekbench battery test score... Confirmed mine is a TSMC and getting similar test score as the Engadget article...

There is another thread where they discussed this.

Does your iPhone have a good or bad A9 CPU?

As you might have guessed, Apple pulled-out the Lirum app. However, there is another app that allows you to know if you have the lesser-performing chip: "BMSSM". My iPhone 6s Plus has Samsung's N66AP model chip. Now what?

You should run the geekbench battery test. I ran it night since you can't really use the phone while it's running if you want a good result (I think - that's what I did anyway).
