Apple iPhone 6s battery life test

04 October, 2015
Our Apple iPhone 6s unit arrived earlier this week and we spent some really quality time with the handset. It turned out its A9 chip is a beast, while its new camera is rather unimpressive. The 3D Touch on the other hand is yet to prove itself as a useful innovation.

    Bigger screen, better res, bigger CPU - not surprising the battery life sucks, but Apple fanboys will flock to it either way - Android still the better option IMO

The s6 isn't even particularly efficient, plus it has a better resolution and bigger screen, both drain power.

                So for 1 day usage all are there (expect Xperia that i think they had a great battery life) but if you want more like 2 days usage get a phablet like note 5,iphone 6 plus etc

                  AnonD-375420, 04 Oct 2015Yes, nobody that uses only android can't understand Apple. ... moreApple could really be the best if they deliberately not choke the iPhone with basic flaws/deficiencies that can be rectified with very little effort. Several users like me are stuck with Android not because the Apple appeal is not sufficient but that are unable to compromise on the basics despite being charged a bomb. I envy my iPhone/iPad owning friends when I use their devices. Unfortunately, I do not need a tab, so I can't even own the Apple device I like the most for now. We may not be the majority but there are sufficient number of users who care about one or more features like decent battery life, flexibility in memory decisions, more desktop-like access to files etc. which are of high importance to them but Apple currently seems to be ignorant enough and make them more anti-Apple with time, with its arrogance.
                  Not an argument/rant. Only expressing disappointment

                      Where is the Video playback result for the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ?

                        Considering the tiny capacity of the battery, this is an amazing performance!
                        Still though, i cant stop thinking what an amazing phone it could have been with a proper battery, smth around 2500 and 2mm thicker...

They just own the patent before it gets popular to make use of when it earns money.

                              My laptop from 2006 did have pressure sensing, super precise on top of that. In fact you chose separately touch size and pressure threshold levels for the input, all that with dual touch as well, in 2006 (year of the laptop's production. The technology itself is older of course).
