No, I initiated my iPhone 7 with a restore from my iPhone 6 backup. I have a hard time believing that sort of thing makes a difference.
I thought I was the only one with this problem.
After the latest update, my 6+ has had horrible battery life. (ex: browsing on my phone for 15 mintues my percentage goes down 5-6% on average)
Hopefully the next update fixes this issue. I haven't changed my settings at all, but might have to for the meantime until this gets fixed.

was thinking about upgrading to iPhone 7 from 6s but heard there are battery issues with the brand new phones running iOS 10.0.2 
You might want to let us know what phone you're using. It's kind of helpful in these types of discussions.
Actually I calibrated battery before updating, as with me and other users find out that battery percentage was way off, eg it took me nearly 1hr 30 min to kill last 10% of battery, once drained and charged to 100% over night, my battery was back to normal and since updating to 10.1 it is more improvement so highly recommend to calibrate battery first and see what you get!
All this Apple obsession with thinness at battery life cost is just annoying.
Evil!Update your iPhone, I will love read your future problems with your phone battery
The only problem I've had with battery life on my iPhone 7 running ios10.0.2 is the standby drain. Using the phone the battery life is pretty decent and I can get up to around 9 hours usage throughout the day if I need to where the phones switched on for say 17 hours total time (my 5s gets around 6 hours 'usage' max in comparison if I need it to last 17 hours for a full day).
The problem is when I leave it sitting there for say 3 hours connected to wifi doing nothing .. it will drain around 10%.. I find this excessive. I've tried closing all apps and turning off background app refresh completely but it's still the same. A couple of years ago so seem to remember my 5s running ios8 losing only about 1% at times in the same senario connected to wifi left on standby!

Mines on standby but not flight mode .. is this draining an ios10 bug? I seem to be able to remember only losing a tiny % of battery not so long ago on previous iOS versions on my 5s
That's probably why you're getting 9 hours of usage. When you have standby battery drain, the usage goes up too. I have a 6s running iOS 10.0.2 and overnight I lose 15%, and my usage goes up by 1 hour. Pretty sure your phone's usage is going up too.
So you also have this... well I also notice battery drain at night. Usually had like 3% per night (at 9.3.2 it was even 1-2% ) now sometimes it's up to 15%. Low battery helps it, but really I don't like to switch it manually each day.

Well hopefully it will be fixed in a future update at least, and good to know it's an iOS issue and not my phone.
The battery drops really slowly while I'm actually doing stuff on the phone so it should be pretty decent battery life once they fix this standby drain out

I noticed a glitch that may not help with battery life. If you go in settings and background app refresh and alter one of the settings for an app, then go back to the main menu, then you then return to background app refresh all the apps are back to default 'on' which would eat though battery life. Not sure if returning causes this or just changing a apps setting then going back to the main menu does. I have tried this on three devices an iPhone 6s a iPhone 7 and an iPad Air 2 and all show the same behaviour.
