Anyone else as jazzed about the battery as I am? 100 percent off the charger this morning and I have been on it non stop and as of 9 I am at 43 percent. Brightness at half, LTE turned off (not for battery) with BT on. By 5 pm on my 5S I would be at about 10 percent. The + gets better and better!

Yeah me too love it! Took mine off the charger at 6am and have been using it moderately all day and at 59% at 9:40pm. Never got anywhere close with my 5S.

Wait a year and check those stats. When I got my 5 last year, I got 10 hours per charge with heavy use. I'm down to 7 hours per charge. They definitely do better than past iPhones.

I'm loving the improved battery. Take mine off charge about 7:30 am come back from work and it has 75% with moderate use. My iphone 5 would be on 40% usually. Definitely a phone that lasts all day with moderate or even fairly heavy use.

This is really great to hear! As much as I love my mophie juice pack air case for my 5, I really wasn't looking forward to getting one for the 6 plus! It will be huge! ;)

I'm really looking forward to this when I get my Plus. I don't use my 5 very often when I'm not on WiFi because of how quickly the battery drains on network. I really want to though.

I can't tell if the battery life is good or not. I'm still playing with my 6+ like crazy. I'm honestly using my phone more than my 5s. It's alot more enjoyable to use. I got a full day out of my 5s and charged it at night. But, I wasn't playing games, watching videos, reading manga, etc. My 6+ I still have to charge it at night. Though I'm using it more. Still very happy with it. No complaints. Well. . .maybe one complaint. It only goes up to 128GB in storage. :p

I think the battery life is life is good. Time will tell. When I'm not using the phone a ton it's a lot better. When I'm using it during the week it seems better, but how much is hard to tell

It's certainly improved over the 5S. I have not taken my Anker battery out like I normally do during the day. After shift today I used it slightly more than I did the other day and ended around 30 percent.

I have similar stats. Took mine off the charger at 5:30am, it's now 9:40pm & I'm at 61%. I love this thing. I don't even have to worry about using my car charger on my commute to or from work.
