What does everyone use for facebook if they dont use the facebook app it self?

I don't have a Facebook account, I don't use it.

Would i see a noticeable difference in battery performance?

yes. Facebook and Weather Channel Apps are notorious battery killers.

These apps are draining most of your data and battery life - AndroidPIT

WIFI. OK to keep WIFI on if you regularly use it.>>

I turned this off and I can see a notable difference in battery life. It definitely lessens battery drain when the phone is sleeping. It's better to use an app like Smart WiFi Toggler that automatically turns on/off your WiFi based on connections you always use like home/work. You could use Llama or Tasker to do the same but this app is specifically for wifi only.

Exactly right neiljay 6. You can't compare the IPhone 6S with the S6. But if you look at the specs on Verizon's website and compare the IPhone 6 with the Galaxy S6, they list the IPhone 6 as getting 10.5 hours of standby time and 14 hours of usage. The S6 is listed as getting 13 hours of standby and 20 hours of usage. It's just a matter of operating systems; Android needs to improve its Lollipop 5.0 (and/or 5.1) to remove unwanted battery drain. Apple also approves all of the apps that go on their phones; Samsung does not. Apple also doesn't have Google to contend with. I think all of these problems with battery power have to do with the fact that people can install ANY app they want on their Android phone, and they don;t have a clue as to what these apps are doing as far as using GPS location services, autosyncing, etc. Add to that Google services, which also use extra battery power unless they are configured properly.

I haven't used my phone much since I bought it a couple of days ago, just to see what kind of battery life I'm getting. My usage (since I charged it yesterday) so far is 1 day, 5h and 54 min. I have 41% battery remaining and 20 hours left! That pretty much gives me a total of 2 days and 1 hour of total battery time!

Even if I got considerably less than that, I would never get an IPhone. Never!

Actually iPhone's have the same radios in all their phones worldwide . The problem is software. iPhones have only iOS to deal with. There's no "carrier" bloatware to deal with. An iPhone sold in the U.S. is the same phone sold in Saudi Arabia. All the internal radios are the same(Model A1522). TD-SCDMA is used for China Mobile and Sprint(USA specifically(Model A1524)). Thats the only difference. iPhone 6+ Model numbers used

you would do many of the same things to maximize iPhone life too. Apple can't defy the laws of physics either.
