A leaked battery for the iPhone 6s Plus reveals a smaller capacity than the battery for the iPhone 6 Plus, reports apple.club.tw.

The leaked battery has a capacity of 2750 mAh, that's 165 mAh less than the iPhone 6 Plus battery at 2915 mAh.

Notably, Apple revealed a similar reduction in battery capacity for the iPhone 6s. Confirmation of the smaller battery size came from the iPhone 6s Introduction Video which shows the battery marked with a capacity of 1715mAh. That's down from the iPhone 6 at 1810mAH.

Despite the smaller batteries, power consumption improvements in the newer iPhones are expected to offset the capacity loss. We'll let you how battery life is once Apple releases the iPhone 6s on September 25th.

I use the 5s, 6, and 6 Plus for personal and business. Every iPhone I've owned has lasted years and the 6 Plus is by far the best phone ever. Battery life is ridiculously good. I keep my apps closed and I don't run my brightness on high, and most days it lasts all day with 20-40 percent left at midnight. I cannot wait for my 6s Plus Rose Gold to show up, and I am looking forward to the iOS 9 jailbreak. Apple makes the best of the best.

Can't they at least keep the battery size to extend the battery life a little bit? I am tired of not having much juice left after a few hours of use! And they should be more realistic with advertising 12-14 hours of battery life; it rarely reaches that figure.

Seriously bad move. Make its weak point even weaker. That's smart. Nooooottttt.

I bet because the nest one will be advertised as 30% larger. Sure from a pre shrunken battery. I'm not saying I'll give up my iPhone by damn this is ridiculous.

Maybe it's because you 1. Have brightness too high. 2. Have so many apps running. Or 3. Have so many signals or location services used. Any of these drains the battery. Plus why not get an ampy. It will save all that trouble, or just use low power mode.

Why would I want to downgrade my services on my iPhone to save battery? I'd like to use it just the way I want without losing juice. I've disabled some location services, but Apple just needs to build a decent battery. That's all.

I am concerned about the battery capacity decreasing. It feels like the hardware might be taking a step backward.

gamerscul9870 - September 21, 2015 at 10:42pm

Actually, iOS 9 is designed to provide an extra hour of battery life, which should help compensate for the smaller capacity.

I suspect it has more to do with a reinforced shell taking more space.
