Worse ? No.. I don't notice it. What I do notice is that I have this feeling a lot more:
Wait, didn't I leave the house an hour ago with 95% ? or 75 % ? .. surely it can't be 45 % now..
And then that 45% lasts me throughout the whole night and I don't charge it until the next day ...
What I also notice with the 6splus is that the battery around 10% really is a reliable 10% Probably because it's new, but with ios9 or ios10, it doesn't get sucked down in 10 minutes to 5 and then poof dead.
The ONE thing I did notice with iOS10 specifically is that if you have say 12% left and you load either iMessage or the camera, within a minute it dropped to 8% and then 6% .. if i stop those 2 apps, that 6% lasts me quite some time.
Either the apps make it recalculate an estimate or they're just terrible at memory management somehow.
I was also experiencing the heat and battery issue on my 6s. I could actually sit and watch it drain after a few minutes. I couldn't last a morning without charging. Went back to 9.3.5 and all is well again.
I'll wait till it's out and do it through itunes on my pc... 9.3.5 has been treating me well
Yeah I noticed this big time with iOS 9. ive had battery issues coming and going until about 9.3.3
If any of you using Adguard blocker , switch to 1Blocker for day.
I was getting terrible battery life and thought it is iOS 10, then i thought i had enable adguard at same time, by going back to 1Blocker my battery is back to normal. Maybe it is not optimized for iOS 10 yet.

Battery life is poor and somewhat strange for me. On a 6s.
I've noticed that over the recent betas and now in the GM, battery life drops like a rock. I'll get 7-8 hours and a couple hours of usage and be around 20-30%. Not good. I use my phone in the exact same manner every morning on the way into work. On 9.3x, I would be around 86-88% when arriving to the office starting from a full charge. On 10 GM, I come in around 78-80%. I charge my phone once I get to the office. What's interesting is when I do charge in the morning with iOS 10, in just 10 minutes of charge from a MBP, the phone goes almost immediately from reading 80% charged to 90% charged.
I was wondering being a year into the phone use, if the battery was going bad. So I took a walk down to the apple store. When I did this last week their diagnostic tools were not working with iOS10 GM. So wanting to know if it was a battery issue or perhaps a iOS 10 issue, I dropped back down to 9.3.5 in the store so they could run the diagnostics. Battery health was shown to be at 96%, so it's not a battery issue. The genius said he's seen a few other instances where people have come in with battery questions and they were running iOS10.
What does this all mean? I don't know, but figured I'd share my observations.

Same here. I've had a great battery life on iOS 9,now in the middle of the day I have 30%. I've got the iOS 10 GM public version. What to do now? Reset all settings or wait for the official release and try in iTunes?
Ops,sorry - iPhone 6.

Has anyone here noticed quite an improvement today? Ive had awful battery life and a hot 6S every day since Beta 8 & the GM and all of sudden today its stopped and battery life is now ok, similar experience for 4 other people I've asked as well.
Maybe a server side change to disable logging, not sure but its definitely improved.

As part of my troubleshooting and getting my battery tested, I reinstalled via iTunes to get back to the GM. No change for me.
Day 1 of the public build/final release... Still terrible battery life. Did a complete setup as new after a DFU restore in itunes.
Can someone here who has bad battery life post which CPU do you have? Samsung or TSMC?

60% in 5 hours with less than 1 hour use and messages using 47% on a 6S+ is terrible... 9.3.5 on the first day I would still be at 90%
