iMore

I have seen quite a few posts where people are getting great usage time on their 6+ units. (Yes I know mileage will vary based on the user)

I was wondering if there is anything special anyone is doing to obtain this kind of usage time? Im pretty new to these forums, and new to iPhone but on my 6+ I am getting MAYBE 6 hours of usage.

I have background app refresh turned off completely.
I have automatic updates turned off.
I only have very few apps with location services turned on.
automatic brightness turned on.

Is there something major I am missing?

I appreciate all the advice.

I unfortunately didn't take a screenshot before I stuck my phone on the charger.
