Once a day, I guess that turns out once every 24 hours, that's not quite accurate. I leave it plugged in while I work, so it stays juiced up while I work
 
I charge my 6+ every single night, and it is usually at 1-15% at bedtime. I used to charge my iPhone 5 twice a day, sometimes three times.
 
It obviously depends how much use it gets through the day.

I normally leave it charging overnight but on some days it's almost out of juice by mid afternoon so it needs an extra charge.
 
I have a Belkin dock on my nightstand and my 6+ stays plugged in overnight.
 
Once a day, but I usually charge it when I am driving home from work so like 1.5 times per day :)

The only reason I charge it when driving is for "hey siri"
 
I charge my iPhone 6 every night, just as I have all my previous iPhones. This is mainly because I use it as my alarm clock, and the app that I use would eat up the battery during the night.

I will agree that actual charging will vary according to usage. I have had to charge it during the day sometimes when it got extra heavy usage.
 
Every night when I sleep. On long car rides just for the hell of it. And if I stay late at work I usually need to plug it in towards the end of the day.
 
I make sure the phone is at 100% before I leave house or work (no matter what time of the day or day of the week).
 
I charge my 6 Plus overnight, I think the battery is usually at about 40%.

I had to charge my iPhone 5 in the afternoon as well - I love the battery life of the 6 Plus!

With the iPhone 5s and 6, 1-2x a day depending on usage. I usually keep an Anker Astro Mini in my purse/pocket for portable charging. The 6+, I only needed to charge once every 1-3 days. Too bad the 6+ was just too darned unwieldy for me. I really loved the battery life on that thing.
 
Quick question: Would it be better of for the battery if I leave my phone charged for 8 hours at work or should I just charge it at home overnight? I don't have issues of running out of juice but rather concerned about the lifespan of the battery and/or conditioning.
