Been testing the iOS 10 beta's since beginning of August and all went really well. From the last one/GM on however, something has been going on. No real draining on standby, but the moment I started using the phone the percentages dropped noticeable quicker than before.
Not only while going OTA from 10.0.1 to 10.0.2, but also restoring with 10.0.2 ipsw + iCloud backup + resetting all settings still gave worse results than before (note that I have been using iOS 8 up until August and completely skipped iOS 9).
Been having very good experience on my iPhone 6 with latest iOS 10.1 b3, the first one in the 10.1 beta series to do so. Maybe not a record usage, if I see some posting here, but certainly good enough for meThe battery has a wear of 9% and 336 cycles after 22 months in use.
How can you view charge cycles? That Battery Life app doesn't give out that info anymore.
I am starting to get really concerned. I have an iPhone 6s 64gb. It's pretty much brand new and came with iOS 9 installed on it. I installed iOS 10 OTA and battery life was fine for weeks. I don't play games on it, don't watch loads of videos and don't allow location for everything. I am only just getting 5 hours of battery usage out of the phone.... I don't know what has changed? Between 5-6 hours battery life cannot be normal for a 6s on medium/light usage?
What's the average battery life for other people with a 6s here on iOS 10? I think there must be an optimisation problem with the 6s and iOS 10! I know of loads of other people who are suffering from a vastly reduced battery life with their iPhone 6s.
I used to have a 6s before this one and noticed battery drain on iOS 10 so did everything recommended to fix it. Nothing worked. Apple replaced my old 6s with this new one because I complained of battery drain. Still getting battery drain....

yes, but that's not a worry. Logging into all my apps again is a pain
How's your battery life now ?yes, but that's not a worry. Logging into all my apps again is a pain
iPhone 7, iOS 10.1 beta 2
Beta 3 is nothing compared to that, averaging around 6 similar to 10.0.2 and I'm on the 7 Plus!
Do you believe guys that one day were gonna have our old battery life back (the one that had on ios 9) on ios 10 one day? i doubt it.
iOS 10 has more features that's probably why it drains more battery. Also it needs more optimization for newer and older devices.
Plenty of people find iOS 10 to be better or at least no worse overall compared to iOS 9, especially on 6s line of phones.
On Mac, you can use the coconut battery app (also free).Still possible when connected to a computer: Windows here with the standard (free) version of iBackupbot
Sure, as is often the case with newer releases. I was just pointing out that going just by those who are having some issues (not counting basically known bugs that basically would affect everyone) doesn't necessarily mean that someone else would have them if they upgraded.
As it comes up in discussions when implications are made that upgrading isn't a good idea because of issues of this type.
Well, that's something different, and there are ways to deal with that if one wants to: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-10-update-notifications-how-to-stop-them.2004049/
This thread is about people having battery issues but there are always a few ones coming and stating the opposite, helping? trolling? i don't know, perhaps both...A Cheap holiday in other peoples' misery!? i dunno, i better deal with that first using the ignore function....
Come on, it's a thread about battery life in general. Not a private club for people with bad battery life...
And yet people make generic remarks about and around iOS 10:
