I couldn't get past the BBM icon with 11% use. Didn't know people still used it on iOS. Are there ads in the app?
BBM is a known major battery drainer. Probably why 11% usage on battery

Well, my 7 Plus is getting over 7-hours of use time...which I guess is admirable considering other big-screen phones and their gluttony for battery life. Maybe I should just be happy, and I am. I guess I heard so much fanboy hype of 2-day-and-more battery life when the 6 Plus dropped that I thought it was to be expected.
I get about 8.5 hours usage on the 7. I get about 11-12 hours usage on the 7 plus.

Just switched to iphone 7 plus after being with android from the beginning. I can tell you that this battery life blows android out of the water.
