How is your battery performance on iPhone 6 Plus?

So far, not at all impressed and confused as to where they got their ratings of 24 hours.... I guess that was a non-possible number but my phone has been off the charger for 4 hours now and is already at 50% with moderate active use but no video files, and mostly bluetooth phone calls, emails, and texts.  I use my phone quite a bit during the day and literally only bought the bigger phone for battery performance, hoping I would see "iPad" type battery status but I am not impressed at all.  Your experiences would be appreciated.

Something is definitely wrong here. I've calibrated the battery by running it down to nothing a few times, but most of those were unintentional! I am having to recharge the battery twice a day. I have been hearing many reviewers crowing about the 6+ battery life, but mine is as bad as my much-used 5S.
I despise having to restore the phone and reinstall my settings and apps, but I guess that is the next step...

  • 3GS Upgraded to OS 3.1.2, How is your battery life now?

    I upgraded to 3.1 only to find my battery life halved to around 4-6 hrs depending on use.
    I then upgraded to 3.1.2 hoping this would be fixed, but no luck.
    I use this for work but it wont even last 1 8hr business day without a charge.... not impressed!
    How is your battery life since upgrading to 3.1.2?
    Is Apple working on fixing this some time soon, or do I start looking for a new "non-iPhone" phone?

    My battery life has been just fine with all OS versions; no change with 3.1.2

    Many of us have no problems with battery life. So I'm not sure there's anything general for Apple to fix -- but your iPhone may need attention. Why not take it to to a Genius Bar?

  • How's your battery after updating to ios 8?

    hey just using my ipad 4 with ios 8 in a day now just wondering hows your battery doing? cause i feel that it took longer to charge and feels like the battery is draining more faster

    Yes I updated via wifi. And no...everything seemed to work fine. But I alsa had a problem with my photos..mostly on my iPhone. I had like 900 or so photos saved on my photo stream..and I used that to hold all my photos, rightt? CUZ I could delete pics from my camera roll but they'd still be on my photo stream  Well now after I updated. THEY ARE ALL GONE. And I'm really sad. I don't know how to get those pics Back.

  • How is your battery life? (on new ZEN on

    Well, after the firmware update I thought I'd give it a try and see how long it would last.Last time I did this I got 22 hours, with the first update, the sd card one. This time it ran for 28 hours! With volume 5/25, when I did my last test with 22 hours, I only had it at 5/25 volume.No EQ, no smart?volume, no bass boost etc...And most of my music is 96 kps wma or 28 kps mp3 with a few 92 kps mp3s I've downloaded recently. Then while I'm doing?the test, I'm looking at the Zen page to see how they got battery life(sometimes they say half volume at 28 kps mp3 etc) and I noticed they upped it to 30 hours life instead of 25!Now I don't feel so special. :P?So, I just want to know how much juice you get out of your ZEN?And say if you use eq, volume level, bass boost, kps, etc

    Hi guys, you will not keep your player on all day long, so you will not get those?playback durations in normal daily use... i tried all the f/w and now i?use my zen?with the .03.04 f/w and it gives me about 4-5 hours (EQ on, Bass Boost and Smart Volume off and i browse the player much)... yesterday, after an approximately 3 days of daily use (4-5 hrs/day) it got down to the final bar... This is better?than the new f/w?s?for me because when I turn it off with the new f/w s it drains quickly because of the hot standby mode... if you have any solutions for this issue (except leaving it turned on ) i will update my f/w too... coz i can not use my SD card as well as i want to especially while watching video...

  • Bad battery on my iphone 6 plus ios 8.2?

    hi everyon, i have my iphone 6 plus for about 6-7 days, and im hating my battery life, im a facebook, music and games user (not a really heavy user) and i had an iphone 6 (4"6 inch) and i had 6 hours of screen with my normal usage (youtube, facebook, 1 or 1 and half hours of gaming, 3 hours of music etc etc, facebook)
    and on my brand new iphone 6 plus im getting less battery life (4-5 screen hours) with less usage...
    i Dont know what i have to do, i came to the apple store and they told me my battery is 100% healthy, and they cant so anything (i can changue my phone for a refurbished one but im pretty scared about the idea of get a refurbished one for a new one, because i dont have the ticket it was a gift)
    Someone are experimenting the same issue? What would i do? replace my phone? Im pretty sad because my old phone gaves me more battery than the biggest one...

    Try this and see if it helps. Try logging out of iCloud completely for a day or two and see if your battery life gets better. I had this issue and it helped tremendously. I think some people's phones, for some reason, are constantly hitting iCloud, even while asleep, and thus constantly using the battery. One pretty strong indication of this is if you look at the Usage and Standby times in the Battery Usage sections. If they are close in number of hours, then something is using the phone in the background constantly. Standby should, under most usage patterns, be far ahead of Usage. For example, my phone after about 6 hours of up time, showed 3 hours of Usage and 3 hours of Standby time. There was no way I was using the phone for 3 hours. Since logging out of iCloud, that 6 hours is now divided as 5 hours Standby and 1 hour of Usage.
    To log out of iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and at the bottom of the page tap on sign out of iCloud. Do that for a day or two to see how it goes.
    Two things you should know (you may already) - 1. You will lose your iCloud backup at night, so if you back up to iCloud you may want to run it before you sign out. If you back up to iTunes on a computer, this will not be as much of an issue;  2. You will also lose Find My Phone. When you log out, it will ask you if you want to log out of Find My Phone. Say yes during your test. You can always log back in.
    These thing worked for me. Instead of getting barely 7 hours of life from the phone with limited usage, I now get days of life with a lot heavier usage.
    Anyway, hope these suggestions help if you try them.

  • Is it recommended to run the battery on a iPhone 6 plus when experiencing battery draining issues?

    iphone started going from 70% to nearly flat in 8 hours or so, should I drain it flat, or go to my local Apple store for advice?

    Hi, Cuzzystyle.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Battery life can be difficult to troubleshoot as multiple factors contribute to how long a charge can last.  Graphic intensive applications, display brightness and data connectivity are just a few of the items that can cause the battery life to decrease rapidly.  I would need to know a little more information about your usage patterns to give you and idea on how to maximize battery life.  However, here are some tips on how to adjust settings and charge the device that may help.

  • How can I "selectively" restore my iPhone 6 Plus backup onto my iPhone 5?

    Hey guys,
    I have backed up my iPhone 6 Plus 128GB to my laptop and now I want to restore this backup onto my old iPhone 5 16GB model. But, I only want the Contacts, Notes & Apps from my 6 Plus Backup to be restored onto my iPhone 5 because my iPhone 5 16GB has too little storage and so the whole 6 Plus backup won't fit. How can I do this?

    I think you misunderstood my problem. I used to use an iPhone 5 until I got my 6 Plus. Now I haven't use my iPhone 5 for over a month. Thats why I forgot my passcode. So, is there a way to turn off find my iPhone by only knowing my Apple ID/iCloud Password?
    Yes.

  • How to reset weather app in iPhone 6 plus

    weather app in iPhone 6 plus showing same temperature of all cities. how to rectify it? tried switching phone off and restart, didn't work

    Hi bangalorer,
    If that didn't help resolve the issue, then I'd like you to toggle Airplane mode on and then off.  This will force your iPhone to reconnect to your cellular data network, which is what is required for the Weather app to refresh.  If the issue still isn't resolved, then reset your network settings.
    Use Airplane Mode on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.Resetting network settings on your device will erase all current saved settings, including Wi-Fi passwords, preferred networks, and VPN settings.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhone 6 Plus to my PC running Windows 8.1?

    When I connect the iPhone 6 Plus to the PC it doesn't recognised it, except for iTunes which it sync and automatically backup.
    My issue is I want to move the photos from my iP6+ to reduce the size of my backup so I can free up space for my PC.
    In the previous iPhone models, I would usually see a folder where I can see the iPhone photo folders but for the iP6+ its not there.

    Hi Caoski,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The first thing we need to figure out is why the PC is not recognizing your iPhone 6 Plus.  This article provides some possible solutions:
