The iPhone 6s doesn&amp;#x27;t have the best battery life, but you should get at least one year of heavy usage before any noticeable degradation and 2 years of normal usage.</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;m considering heading to the Apple store and asking for a fresh battery replacement.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t want to give up my headphone jack.</text></comment>
