Normal usage for me. Last iOS update gave me a nice boost. Have had this phone for over a year now. I'd say I'm probably a light to medium user. Some gaming but by usage Time you can see it's not a ton.

My wife uses her phone 6s+ heavily. Every hour of the day. Facebook instagram groupme. She has to charge at least once a day but she's on it all day. Me? About 2-3 hours.

At home I have 1-2 bars of Verizon. At work a tower is 2 blocks away so max reception there.

Want to trade it with mine, please? :D By the way what would you suggest in my case about the battery drain issue?

Run your battery down to 0%. Sometimes the % reader gets thrown off with iOS updates. I find running the phone till it turns off once in a while helps make it more accurate. I had an iOS update make me drop from 100% to 40% in a few hours. I ran it down to 0% and it stayed at 6% for 5 hours. This was on my 6s+. I call it recallibrating the battery % reader. Run it till it turns off then charge it to 100%. Leave it on the charger for 2 hours after it says 100%. Use an iPad or certified 2.0+ amp charger.

If that doesn't work do a full phone wipe and set up as new and install your apps - see if that fixes it.

If not, install coconutBattery on your mac or a friends mac and plug your phone in to see battery health. Only read battery health at 100% charge. If below 80% of design capacity then time to get replacement from Apple - do they do mail service for you?

About the first part : to trying calibrate it, will try it today, maybe later a full phone wipe and set up as new!

About the second part : battery shows 92,68% with 568 cycles, so that seems strange to me! And for the mail service from Apple, that is not possible, in my country are not possible this kind of options!!
