"iPhone 6, 6s, 6 plus, 6s plus." battery life comparison.


Here's the battery capacity for each phone:
1. iphone 6 = 1810 mah
2. iphone 6s = 1715 mah
3. iphone 6 plus = 2915 mah
4. iphone 6s plus = 2750 mah



Shrinking power

The latest teardown comes from iFixit and it discovered the extra 15 grams of weight in the iPhone 6S is because of the introduction of more capacitive sensors to allow the new 3D Touch feature.

The teardown also found that the A9 chipset inside the iPhone 6S is even bigger than last year's and it's expected that the reason for this is to host the embedded M9 motion coprocessor.

It's disappointing to hear that Apple has shrunk the battery down once again, but it doesn't prove to be dramatically different than the iPhone 6 when it comes to battery life. Maybe it was worth it to keep the slim body as well as bring in the new 3D Touch feature.

Ahead of the debut of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, rumors suggested both devices would have smaller batteries, which turned out to be accurate. It appears Apple may have adopted smaller batteries in the new iphones in order to make room for new internal parts like a dedicated Taptic Engine that enables haptic feedback whenever 3D Touch is used.

Though the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have smaller batteries, overall battery life has not been impacted due to optimizations in the A9 processor in the devices and software improvements. Both devices continue to offer the same battery life as the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.
