Seemingly confirmed: the iPhone 6s comes with a smaller battery than predecessor

Wow, I for one am. I mean I had low expectations for their battery to begin with as Apple is overly obsessed with the thickness of the phone but I never expected them to take a step backwards.

Just like Motorola does.

Motorola phones are generally thicker and have massive batteries. Nexus 6? Droid turbo? Moto x play? Moto g?

27. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)

I'm as confused as you. If he's referring to the Moto X, that series went from 720 to 1080 to QHD, and battery life stayed the same. Hardly a step backwards.

41. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

The battery life has been terrible on both X phones.

40. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

Moto X and even those phones suck.

just wait and see, how ip6s is gonna suck when compared to all other phones this year.
battery is always a major dissopointment. RAM atleast they would give 2GIG for future proof

In the past you've said that the Moto G and Droid Turbo were good phones, but now they suck. And didn't you just say the other day you were considering the Moto X Pure? So if Motorola is so horrible, why would you be looking at picking one up? That makes zero sense. Or were you just saying it to appear impartial and open-minded when in reality you're anything but?

69. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

Ok let me clarify - the "batteries" suck.

I don't think I said anything about Motorola being horrible. They just make stupid decisions. Why am I picking one up? Because it's convenient for my needs. It has the same specs as the Note 4 without the bloat. I don't recall needing anyone's approval. Last I checked this was a free country.

73. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)

You don't think you said anything about them being horrible. You just say they make stupid decisions and bash their devices whenever there's an article on them. I see the difference there.

Needing anyone's approval? Where if the hell did I say that you couldn't get one? I said that I doubted you actually were. Those are not the same things. The reason I said it? You have never had a positive thing to say about Motorola's devices, so if you truly believe that, it would make no sense to get one, regardless of convenience. Unless you just want to have something to bitch about.

77. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

Even you can question some of the decisions they make. Yes even Apple makes some bs decisions. See you didn't realize I can call Apple out when they're in the wrong or they do something I disagree with. There's no reason why the X 1 and X 2 shouldn't have been great phones given the premise.

I think you just want me to have something to bitc about. I had the first X, passed on the second one, and plan on getting the 3rd one. You just said above I praised the Turbo and the G. So I think you're contradicting yourself.

82. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)

No, actually I've never seen you call out Apple on anything. Your stick response is "My body is ready". Yes, Motorola does make some bad decisions, but if someone who didn't know the situation saw what you do, they'd think Motorola couldn't make any dcent decision.

No, I'd be very happy if you didn't bitch at all, or at least save it for a good reason. You jump down their throats anytime they do anything. That's the point. I'm contradicting myself? You just said they sucked and as I pointed out, you've said in the past they were good, but now they suck. But I'm the one contradicting myself.

30. Scott93274 (Posts: 5402; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)

Motorola has much larger batteries on even their lowest model phones. And the capacity increases each year, they don't go backwards like Apple did with this year's phone. Hello, the Moto X saw an increase of 700 mAh over last year, 1330 mAh if you compare it to the Moto X Play. Your example is just proof that you suffer from diarrhea of the mouth, talking nothing but sh*t.

42. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

Unlike you I can back my sh*t up. You're just mad because what I say is true and you are afraid to admit it.

44. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)

Bringing this back to an iPhone discussion on PhoneArena, here are their own test results:

iPhone 5: 4:22
iPhone 5S: 5:02
iPhone 6: 5:22
Moto X '13: 5:50
Moto X '14: 5:45
iPhone 6 Plus: 6:32
Nexus 6: 7:53

Again, what point are you trying to make, calling out Motorola in an iPhone article about battery life?

48. Scott93274 (Posts: 5402; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)

Your sh*t is backed up because you have your head shoved up your @$$, not letting anything out. You have never backed up your posts with facts, just nonsense. Go hug a wall, iPhones have the worst battery life in the industry. All Moto X phones, past and current beat the iPhone 6 in battery life, and their droid line runs circles around anything Apple has ever done.

62. bur60 (Posts: 878; Member since: 07 Jul 2014)

Give up man. Is Apple your company? Stop being a fool. Be objective. All companies overcharge their phones in price but Apple takes the cake. Holy s**t how can they do something like this?

54. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)

And here you are again doing what you've been bitching people out forever, bringing up subjects unrelated to the article. And don't say well I only said it because he's a Motorola fan. I've said the same to you and I was told that had no bearing on the subject of this article.

And before you say that I've done it in the past, remember that I'm not the one who's gotten bent out of shape over it, you were. Yet here you are doing it yourself. Hypocrisy, thy name is Mxyzptlk.

70. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

I thought you were done responding to me? Last time I checked you threw a hissy fit or was seeing Scott being put in his place became too unbearable.

I only brought it up because every time I say something Scott McPanties is always tossing Apple into the argument.

71. Scott93274 (Posts: 5402; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)

Just pointing out the obvious, you complain about the battery life of a phone you don't even have so I say why you never complain about the battery life of other companies like Apple, even when the iPhone 6s has a smaller battery than the year before you are still incapable of talking bad about Apple, instead you bring up Motorola in an argument you couldn't possibly win. That is you bring a hypocrite to the extreme.

78. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

You're wrong again. If you bothered to "read" previous comments you would know I had some doubt about the 6S. You are doing the exact same thing you've accused me of doing. You're full of crap.

72. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)

Because two wrongs always make a right, you'll troll on Motorola because some other guy trolls on Apple. Everyone needs a hobby, I guess.

74. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)

I was, assuming that the reason you constantly show up in these articles was because you wanted to argue. So I decided to remove myself from the equation. All that did was apparently send you into overdrive, and I had enough.

So you only did what you bitch everyone else out for because someone else did it? I bitch people out for cutting people off in traffic because it's dnsgerous. So naturally I should start cutting people off too because others did it. That's a fine bit of logic you have there. If someone does something you don't like, you don't start doing it to. That will give you the opposite outcome. I'd say you did it because in this instance it works in your favor.

79. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

I have the right to comment on articles just like you do. I like how you give me the pep talk yet you don't give it to your Motorola cohort over there.

I only called out Scott. Get your facts straight before you go on the attack. I realize two wrongs don't make a right but we are not driving on a highway. We're just a bunch of anonymous users having a pissing contest.

80. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)

I never said you don't have the right to comment. But I do question what you want to get out of it. You go into an article you know has people who like the subject only to bash it. Why? Just to get into these pissing matches? Here's a thought, maybe if you didn't show up in every Motorola article bashing them, Scott wouldn't show up in Apple articles to do the same. A crazy notion I know, most people learned that when they were children, others are a little behind the curve.

So you bitch people out for doing it, but it's OK when you do it because it's not a life or death thing. Then why were you chewing out other people in the first place? It's pretty hypocritical to chew someone else out for doing it, and then do it yourself.

81. Scott93274 (Posts: 5402; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)

You called me out for making the same comment everyone else had about Apple having a small battery in their new phone? Why are you not defending your precious Apple against posts like...

"This didn't surprise me"

"It does matter. iPhone battery life SUCKS to begin with"

"ifags will be a wallhugger/powerbank hugger"

"NO REMOVABLE BATTERY = FAIL"

You're not attacking me for trolling because my response was a rational one, you're attacking me because I call you out in the Motorola articles for trolling and you're a vindictive little b*tch.

everybody talking bout android battery which is 2500mAh or 2700 everybody goes like... what a crap battery, what small batt.
But this fail iphones has the lowest battery from all smartphones and nobody say even word that battery gonna sucks .. (I mean ifans will NEVER admit)
Swiping cons under carpet when it comes to iphone .. WHY ? why ppl do this ? what they trying to hide and why they protecting this phone like that ? really logically not understandable

66. CptPwn (Posts: 26; Member since: 20 Mar 2015)

Yeah, why they didn't bump it up to 2000 or 2200 mAh this time, is a real enigma for me. It wouldn't make the phone thicker or bigger, at all.

28. TSMan2 (banned) (Posts: 363; Member since: 20 Aug 2015)

If it has longer battery life - it doesn't matter.
But it's same like the older 6 lame battery life - it's fail.
