Yeah not true. Have them tell you your current battery capacity is. I've used the apps to get replacements. They said that my battery was exactly what the app was telling me. My brother was having horrible battery life and I checked his phone with coconut. Said 63% capacity, contacted apple and they said it was actually 58%. So even worse than the app.
What app is that you are using to see the current discharge rate? I haven't seen that type of app since I was jailbroken on 8.1.2 with Batterylife.
They typically get pulled or removed from the App Store after they make it on. I use Coconut Battery. And for a while Battery health was around. If you have a Mac you can download coconut battery for Mac and plug in your iPhone and it will give you the same information.
CoconutBattery is best but there's also another free app you can try.

They aren't going to take my third party app over their own diagnostic software lol. He said my battery passed
Hey you can download the beta from here..

That Battery Life app is an absolute crap. It showed my Wear Level at 12% holding about 87% charge capacity. Contacted Apple Support and was told the current capacity is good at 96%. Deleted the app the next minute.

I had the same experience. Apple diagnostics read my battery at 96% while that crap read it as 87% with 12% wear
I was so mad when he told my my battery passed, not because it passed but because I was essentially lied to by that app
Any way to make some money!
Fortunately 9.3.2 seems to be holding better on battery so far
Here is my two cents on battery life after an update based on my experience and things I've read.
When you install a new iOS or update it needs to "relearn" your battery for a few full cycles. iOS needs to gather data again to recalibrate the battery meter. It uses an algorithm that compares voltage and the amount of time the battery is under load and averages things out overtime to give you a more accurate reading. After an update or factory reset all this data needs to be regenerated again and that takes time until you really know what you are getting! So it's not unusual to see the percentages dropping much faster at first since iOS doesn't really know how much capacity is left in the battery until get gathers data about the cycles and the voltage and how much time it takes to get to each percentage under certain discharge rates thoughout a charge. I usually give it at least a week before I can tell if things are really actually different. (And they usually aren't)
I just charge my phone each night and unplug in the morning. My regular iPhone 6 has gotten 5:30-8 hours of usage since I've owned it throughout iOS 8-9.3.1. I usually get about 6:30-7 hours of total onscreen time per day if I'm lightly using it mostly on wifi with the brightness below 50%. By lightly I mean no heavy gaming. Just safari surfing, texts, tweetbot, Instagram, things like that. Over all the updates my battery life has not changed significantly. Always seems to die around the 7 hour usage mark (with my typical lighter usage) unless I've been listening to podcasts or music with the screen off in my pocket or on the armband for a run then I could see 8-8:30. If I'm gaming and have the screen up the battery falls very fast and I'm lucky if I get 4 hours. When iOS 9 was touted up to get 1 more hour of battery life I was excited but nope. No change. Still getting the same as before.
So anyways before you all start freaking out thinking a new iOS update has destroyed your battery life just calm down and use your phone like regular and after a week or so the battery meter should have itself sorted out.

What improved performance? It is just as crap as before. It was smooth for about two or three uses, but after that I can see the lag.
Lol. Then what's the point of installing this beta? All you'll get is a beta experience.
Seems to work fine for me considering I ran the diagnostic tests Apple uses at the Genius Bar
And for the curious, you can use MITM to run the diag:// command Apple uses if you visit this site:
iosdiag.website
Then you can use a PSQL viewer to look through the diagnostic files.
Bonus: More details on how this works

Did you sign coconutBattery yourself?
This. I don't trust anything Apple says regarding my battery unless they give me the capacity percentage. They can say it passes but what does a "pass" mean. They need to be more translucent with us.Seems to work fine for me considering I ran the diagnostic tests Apple uses at the Genius Bar

I downloaded back before Apple pulled it from the App Store. It still shows up under my Purchased but I've never deleted it from my device.

A week ago the wear was at 4% with iOS 9.3. And when I checked this morning it was altering between 13%,12%,8%. Totally unreliable!
Yea I don't pay any attention to the wear info in that app because that's not something the diagnostic files provide, or at least I can't find it yet. So that seems like mumbo jumbo by the Battery Life app. All I'm really concerned with is battery capacity and if it's below 80%. With AppleCare, they'll replace your battery if it drops below 80%.

The Mac app of coconutBattery works just as good, so there's still that
Looks like based on your other post in the 9.3 battery thread that you are having usage and standby times climbing together. You must have a stuck process. Fully charge your iPhone clear out your app switcher and reboot. Take it off the charger and leave it alone for an hour and check your usage and standby times. If it's still climbing you together and not properly standing by you may have a corrupt install.
It is very normal for the capacity of your battery to change 100x in a day. But if you take routine notice of your battery health you can develop an average. I've seen mine as low as 93% and as high as 102% in 12 hours.
