Seems so. The scaling of the UI elements are all fine for it. A plus would have everything be a little smaller and it would show more content.

If you're going to post battery stats at least show the entire battery screen with times.
Some people "cheat" (for whatever bizarre reasons) these by running Music in the background and hiding it (you can literally pull out a calculator and add up people's usage time to see it's bunk).

Not sure you can really do those kinds of comparisons in most cases as the time periods often don't align. (I'm also not completely sure that all the things that the OS might be doing at times are always fully reflected in the seprate app times.). That said, it's definitely good to see all the available stats of course.

Not a plus nor an s.What do you mean by regular?It's not a plus, if that is what you mean.
I never got more than 6-7ish hours out of an iPhone. My usage must be different from everyone else on MR when i see usage times of more than 8+ hours lol
How's everyone's batt performance on beta 2? Mine is the same as beta 1. Not as good at all as 9.2
Getting about 10 hours SOT at %5 remaining, I have a Samsung chip that on 9.0 I would only get like 6 hours SOT. Apple definitely optimized something I guess after those media reports, glad I updated. Worth it for JB.
I'm pleasently surprised with the battery on my 6. I'm not doing anything different yet i'm getting a proper full day out of it. I'm taking it off charge between 7/8am and it's not needing to be plugged in until about midnight.
I had the battery drain problem with my iPhone 5c, sucking the life out of my battery within 4.5 hours. I updated to El Capitan 10.11.4 Beta 3 on my Mac yesterday and the problem seems to be solved, no more battery drain on my iPhone.
The problem seemed to be a bug in the El Capitan Beta, not the iOS 9.3 Beta.

Hand-off purhaps? Or iCloud always looking for changes on the other device?
Only things I could think of
Yes, I suppose the faulty iCloud implementation in El Capitan Beta was constantly pushing changes (with no changes made in documents in iCloud) to the iPhone. The amount of mobile data pushed to my iPhone was around 3 GB (System Services - Documents & Sync) in two weeks, and is now at barely 3 MB in one day. And the iPhone got hot because of the battery drain.
The battery consumption is now back to normal. One 100% charge lasts more than 1.5 days. And the iPhone stays cool.

On your iPhone go to Settings, then Mobile Data, scroll down and check at " USE MOBILE DATA FOR" the last entry System Services. There you'll see what's consuming your data.
I did a "Reset Statistics" (stats back to zero) to confirm my suspicion.

edit: 2/10/2016 - upgrading to 10.11.4 public beta fixed it.
Battery life on my iPhone 6S Plus is really awful, because something is keeping it awake. It burned through 25% of the battery at work today while I wasn't even touching the phone. I live in an area where I regularly get 4/5 LTE and my desk is about 5 feet from the wi-fi router. It's not a signal issue. But if I look at the Battery screen in the Settings app, it shows that my "usage" is insanely high. 8.5 hours on battery/standby, 6 hours of usage, for example. And when I don't touch my phone, that seems insane. Home/lock screen is dominating my last 24 hours, too. FWIW this is about the same as iOS 9.2.1 - the battery life is what prompted me to get iOS 9.3.
Things aren't much better on my iPad Mini 4, either with 9.2.1 or 9.3. Since the battery is bigger, it lasts longer, but it feels like it uses an unreasonable amount of battery while it's sitting around doing nothing.
edit: cling freeze, I think you're on to something. It seems like the changes started around the time I upgraded to El Cap (was running Yosemite up until about a week ago). Looks like it's using a lot of data, too. My line is using way more than it used to. I'll upgrade to the 10.11.4 beta and see what happens. According to my Verizon account, my phone has used around 350MB per day for the last couple days, which is insane for me.

Today, really weird drain for me. 35 minutes of use, 1 hour stand by down to 95% - normally on older 9.3 beta's I would be down 1% to 99% battery. iPhone 6s Plus is my device.
