Better battery life on 9.3 for your 6s?

[Michial Brown]

I am getting appx 30-60 minutes more on screen time everyday for my 6s since the 9.3 update. How is everyone else faring?

My wife (6s) and I (6s Plus) seem to be fairing around the same. Nothing too exciting in either direction.

I haven't noticed any change with my 6s Plus.

 

[Michial Brown]

I'm pleasantly surprised. Maybe the update corrected an isolated anomaly in my device. No complaints.

 

[TripleOne]

Haven't payed any attention. Battery life is great as usual.

I too am getting similar battery life to what I was getting pre-iOS 9.3

 

[Larry Cook1]

I haven't seen any notable difference.

Mine seems to of gone backwards, even though I did a clean install (factory reset) of 9.3 after running the beta.

I've even noticed a bug in the battery section of the Settings. The "Time Since Last Full Charge" section will sometimes have "---" for both Usage and Standby (after a full charge), and it'll be like that all day. FWIW I never had the bug where the Usage and Standby times were the same.

Been worse for me. I've heard m similar things from others. I'll get over it

No difference on my VZ iPhone 6S
Good Luck

My usage patterns vary so much that it's hard to tell. Lol. No real noticeable difference though.

 

[wilber1]

Pretty much the same as before the update chum .

My battery life has become worse since I downloaded 9.3. Not sure why yet. I've done everything possible except a factory reset. Not to happy that I might have to do that.

No noticeable difference for me -- still have to trickle charge whenever I can to make it through a day

 

[Spencerdl]

OK, so I remembered a method I got from another member a couple of years ago and decided to try it again since it worked on my 5s.

I allowed my battery to drain to zero and turn off by itself. I left my iPhone on the charger overnight without messing with it. I removed it at approximately 7AM with 100% battery juice and six hours later with none stop use and several long phone conversations I'm at 66%. That's acceptable in my book. Maybe I won't have to do a factory reset after all.

For me, battery life is slightly better on both my 6s and my 6.
But as long as I get through the day, everything is fine

My battery doesn't last the day (but me playing crossy road a lot might have something to do with it) but in general usage haven't noticed any change!! iPhones are always good on battery

 

[MaxSmarties]

I'm always very skeptical about changes in battery life related to software versions, in better or in worse. Usually it's somethings else to influence battery life: a network issue, a misbehaving app, wrong settings.
For what it counts, iOS 9.3 didn't change any of my iDevices.
