Yes, but this is being sold on the virtue that it gets your headphone jack back.

Yeah primarily, but also that it's battery-case too. And they're quite popular anyway - so while the bulk of the case may not be a great payoff for getting a minijack, at least you know you'll double the battery life into the bargain.

Like I said, it's not for me. But seems like a good idea if you're into those battery cases and not a fan of the minijack loss.

Or it might just be easier to get the iPhone 6 or another make of phone and save yourself all the extra expenditure and increased bulk :D
 
It's always a bit pointless when reviewers talk about a battery lasting a day or not. Obviously it depends how much you use it.

Yep, how many notifications, how much location services it uses, what content you consume on it amongst others have a massive impact. Just running a bunch of playing music for hours and waiting to see when the battery drains tests doesn't have much relevance in the real world...

Any views on iOS 10? I have a 6S and am holding back as I've heard about battery issues. As it is my battery is perfectly decent, charge every night and it always lasts with moderate use, always 30-40% left when I go to bed.

Well though out benchmarks that put different phones through similar tests on the other hand are far more useful then useless phrases like it lasts two days.

Indeed. And because all phones go through the same benchmarks, a site can provide a helpful rough outline about how good (or poor) a phone's battery life is. Certainly more accurate and useful than "it lasts for ages" or "my phone is better than yours."

I don't think they are, they aren't real world tests and nobody by the testers experiences phones like that.

It's the same every year nothing of course due the fact that shiny new means everyone uses their phone more thus caning battery.

I've been running ten on my 6s plus since it came out and there's no change in battery.

Just got iOS 10.0.2 and can't swipe down to get rid of word suggestions in the typing box :hmm:

Is it 'Predictive' in Settings to turn it off? Or should I be able to swipe it down and away?

Grr

Yes, "Predictive" will turn it off.
Swiping down doesn't remove suggestions but I hadn't tried it before so don't know whether that's changed.
