I'm on 28%, Usage 5 hours, Standby 13 hours, no charges since this morning, lol.

I'll update with how gash it is tomorrow.

When I'm editing video, it conserves battery like a baws. When it's doing f**k all, it pisses it away.

Try a complete wipe and reload from iCloud, it doesn't sound right.

If you go into the battery option in settings it will tell you what's been using the battery for the last 24 hours or 7 days. Might be you have an app on there which is eating the battery.

In other news another five phones arrived at work today. All 64Gb ones, for the slightly-less-senior senior management. FFS! :angry: Talk about first world problems :tongueclosed:

Sigh, if it's s**t tomorrow, I'll do that.

It says it's chrome which uses the most lol... Because cs.

But I've got no background apps running usually.

128gb in a phone is obscene imo.

I've not even filled a 32gb iPad!

O Rly, how do you get the trackpad to work then?

Just touch the keyboard with two fingers. I haven't tried it on my iPhone 6, but it works on my iPad Air 2, so it's definitely not a feature exclusive to 3D Touch.

Not that 3D Touch isn't cool, of course. I'm sure it's awesome.

AdDaMan · Sep 29, 2015

Well I'm selling my 6s and sticking with the 6.
This will be the first time I haven't kept the newest one. I like force touch but that alone is not worth it when I can sell the 6s for £750.

DrR · Sep 29, 2015

What's track pad??

botfch · Sep 29, 2015

@Knuckles hows the battery going?

In fact how is everyone finding the battery, mine isn't being delivered until next week and its my main concern.

cafcross · Sep 29, 2015

Mine is a 5S but iOS 9 has greatly improved my battery. Took my phone off charge when I went to bed last night and 8 hours later when I woke up it was still on 100%. Previously, on iOS 8, it would have gone down by around 20%. Current stats are standby 16 hours 40 mins, usage 2 hours 9 mins, with 52% battery left. I would have been looking at around 20% at the most before going to iOS 9. My actual usage of the phone hasn't changed at all.

Goodj · Sep 29, 2015

Mine was similar when I put 8 on my 5.

It had 99% battery for days
Then 3
then 30
then 80

Now it doesn't power on ever

Funny story. For whatever reason, it didn't charge last night.

So I plugged it into the iPad charger and car charger before work and it got up to 60%.

That lasted until 2pm, however I was watching some videos today.

AK · Sep 29, 2015

53% 9 hours standby and 4 hours usage. Loving it.

DrR · Sep 29, 2015

Mines a 6, but still.

Doesn't seem to work on my 5S

Ben.Block · Sep 29, 2015

Doesn't work on my 6, unless I'm not getting it.

AdDaMan · Sep 29, 2015

Of course it doesn't. It's force touch only on iPhone.

Rich-D · Sep 29, 2015

That explains it then...

DannyR · Sep 29, 2015

Works on my iPad Air 1

Screenshotting is difficult though

AdDaMan · Sep 29, 2015

Thats an ipad dude.

GarethM · Sep 29, 2015

The battery life is impressive. Currently 13 hours standby. Usage 5 hours 30 mins and it's on 40%

What the hell, that's impressive!

C.J · Sep 30, 2015

Not sure if iOS or 6S, but I like the silent vibrate on messages now. Instead of the usual long vibrate, it pulses. Less intrusive when on my desk.

Adam D · Sep 30, 2015

Isn't that something you've always been able to do? I always changed mine can't stand the default one!

Where's the option to change the vibrate type?

Sounds
Ribgtone/text tone etc.
Vibration.

You can make custom pulses too.

Rich-D · Sep 30, 2015

Yup, this has been there for 2 years at least

It was kept quiet then lol

AdDaMan · Sep 30, 2015

Yeah I have a custom when so I know if it's a call or text or email when it's in my pocket.

Awesome! I never knew this.

GarethM · Sep 30, 2015

The vibration is a lot quieter on the 6S compared to the 5S. That maybe due to it being bigger though. I tried the custom vibrate and changed back to default.

Not really :wink:

It was mentioned on loads of those iOS7 what's new and tricks & tips links all over Facebook

Knuckles · Sep 30, 2015

It's managed to go a whole day without dying today. No idea why it went tits up the other day.

Knuckles · Sep 30, 2015

I got one of these today.

It's not too much bulkier than the actual phone, protects the silly exposed camera and the colour is a good match for the phone.

The only downside is it makes it a bit awkward to open the control centre from the bottom of the screen. But it was £3.99 so I can't complain.

AdDaMan · Sep 30, 2015

Dude, that is f**king ugly.

DannyR · Sep 30, 2015

It makes it look like a knock off one!

Munson · Sep 30, 2015

Ben.Block · Oct 1, 2015

Just had mine delivered. Touch 3D is great, wasn't too sure how hard to press at first, didn't want to break anything.

Knuckles · Oct 1, 2015

Meh, it does the job and doesn't require screwing in like my last one.

It managed to complete another day without dying today... Letting it die then completely recharging it seemed to have fixed it
