Sons of a b... seriously in iOS 10 there is no way to check (without jailbreak) how is a battery wear status now? Nice done Apple, nice done...
Just today I connected my phone to Mac and launched coconut battery, which gave me cycles and Max charge, current charge and default factory charge limit. I am not sure how coconut battery got those details.
It seems to show the wear and the true charge but not cycles or much of anything else.
Same problem here.
I was using an app called Battery Health, but iOS 10 broke it and I can't see cycles, temperature, or true state-of-charge anymore.
Apple had banned additional purchases of this app some time ago. It seems that they don't want this information to be user viewable. I don't know why.
Increased battery drain here too on my iPhone 6 since upgrading. About 10% within the first hour this morning with light / occasional usage after a full charge overnight. Turned phone on and off, all backups and photo library indexing complete. I run with most notifications and background app refresh disabled.
My Ipad pro is also draining much faster.
Definitely expect this to be optimized in later iOS updates, but for now im playing with the idea of rolling back to 9 as most of the new features dont benefit me and my usage patterns, and my Macbook Pro is too old to update to OSX Sierra so I wont be taking advantage of the symbiosis between the two OS's.

I only noticed iMessages taking excessive battery after I'd used a couple of the new "tap backs" to a friend. I'd never used any advanced message features until then and had no excessive battery use. Maybe there's some kind of race condition to do with the new features and effects? Can anyone else confirm?
6s+ 100% when I go to bed, 60% or less when I wake up.. That's 40% in 6 hours with little twitter notifications only.
This is ridiculous

I am about to be sure that iMessage is draining that battery. Even more when my fiancée is out of internet and I want to send her SMS quick reply from lock screen it wants to send iMessage like crazy, even worse than it was on iOS 9.
When I open messages up it's default as SMS not damn iMessage with will not be send and every quick reply is send in the end as SMS.
Resetting iMessage settings do nothing. iOS 10 vs 9.3.5 on her. What are you doing Apple

the new Notifications on my iPhone 6 are causing the screen to stay on longer and the display is brighter, causing more battery usage. Also, there are many more taps/touches with the new notifications. a simple-click before is now 3-4 clicks. it may be fine with Force Touch but now i have to charge my battery throughout the day.
I shouldn't have updated, only 2 features are great so far and that's just in Mail. oh well, it'll just get worse and eventually in 2 years i'll be happy with a new phone.

I am at a similar point with what I would classify normal usage for me. and that's with an hour charge partway through the day. I used to be fine throughout the day and be near 50% at 5pm, and fine until bed. now my battery is down to 30-40% by 5pm with a mid-day charge. and then between 5-8% battery my phone just dies. I should have gone win the Apple Store before my Apple Care Plus was up. but they make you wait 2 hours with or without a Genius bar appointment.

To be fair, I had been noticing a battery decline before iOS 10, but it seems to be worse. I know that with a new OS, I can expect crappy battery for a few days, so I'm holding out hope. I didn't buy Apple Care this time around (AT&T talked me into going with their insurance plan since it covers theft and other things), but I'm still within the basic year warranty so I should run to the Apple Store and have them test my battery to see if it's time for a replacement. Also, my Sleep button seems to be growing more and more flush with the phone, so maybe they should look at that. It still works, but it concerns me that it doesn't really stick out of the phone anymore. Side issue tangent, sorry.
I can report battery life on my 6s also has been draining faster than on 9.3.x. Hopefully in the next day or two it should settle down.
Guys I don't know what to do, I have a normal 6s but reading all your problems I think I'm gonna stay here in 9.3.5 at least until 10.0.2... what do you recommend me? because I'm just reading bad stuff. Until when is it possible to downgrade to 9.3.5 again and how can I do it? Sorry for the noob question xDD
Yeah me too on 5s public 10. Messages is draining like crazy and Malin phone hot when I use the doodles and tap back things
Interesting, someone mentioned coconut battery on the Twitter feed. Would like to know too...
