Assuming you have a freshly restored or new iDevice follow the steps below. If you are having serious battery issues I recommend restoring your device in iTunes and choosing the option to "Setup as New".

1. Settings > WiFi > Disable Ask to Join Networks

2. Settings > Cellular > Enable LTE > OFF

3. Settings > Cellular > Go all the way to the bottom > Turn OFF Wi-Fi Assist

10. Settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness > Turn OFF Fitness Tracking

11. Settings > Privacy > Diagnostic & Usage > Check OFF Don't Send

13. Settings > iCloud > Turn OFF anything here you don't use. I recommend turning OFF iCloud Drive, Everything in Photos, News, and Wallet.

I picked up an iphone 6s the other day and I am blown away by the battery, I have not done any tweaking yet and after a full day of use it still has about 15% at 10pm

i got the 6s plus 4 days ago and after some heavy usage as of this morning i still have 20% battery life left, only done one full charge the day i got it, phone is amazing, my favourite iPhone 

 

yet. Still getting used to the mammoth size never went this big before, but i can tell i'm in love with it already haha.

I have an iPad Air 2 which drinks battery away when using it for Youtube, so I went ahead and followed all the steps, hoping it saves battery a little more than it has so far, which isn't that bad already.

 

Thanks for the steps.
