Hi!
I have iPhone 6S Plus and i want to change it for iphone 7. The biggest reason is the phone size. When 4,7" iPhone get OIS i think its complete phone now, but only one thing interesting me... Battery Life?

If anyone changed ip 6S Plus to regular iPhone 7 please tell me difference in battery life.

On my 6S Plus at 20% I average have 6-7h Usage time, usually 2 days of use ;) If iPhone 7 can survive 1 full day it's enough for me ;)

Ok I attempted to go from the 6S Plus to the 7. It was a huge difference unfortunately. But noon I had to recharge my 7, where as my 6S Plus would last me until about 7 pm. The pocket ability was nice with the 7, but I had to go with the 7 Plus for battery life purposes.

Same experience here; the size is perfect but not the battery life

I switched (but) from 6 Plus to 7 ... 4 days already.
Not a big deal at all. Scored: out of 10
i7 = 8/10
6+ = 10/10.
But the standby time of 7 is compensate the difference, I think.

Hmmm... So maybe iP7 can survive full day for me but without comfort usage than with 6S Plus... I dont like discharge phone lower than 5%...

No matter what, the 6S Plus is gonna get a lot better battery life than an iPhone 7. You'll be disappointed.
