Hello,

Right now I have a 6s and I’m thinking about buying a 7 plus. I know that the plus has a much bigger battery, but I was wondering if it really improves the usage hours, or at the end, due the bigger screen , is the same battery life as the 6s.

Thanks!

You will experience much increased battery life. Trust me.

The first thing you have to remember, is battery life is completely subjective no matter what the specifications are listed in terms of hours/usage, because it's based on the user. But with the deleted headphone jack on the iPhone 7, it did make room for a larger battery. For example, the 4.7 iPhone 7 actually has a 14% larger battery due to the Jack being deleted.

Ultimately, I do believe the iPhone 7 Plus battery is substantially better over the 6S Plus.
