"I'm finding a significant downgrade in battery life on my iPhone 6 since updating to iOS 10. Under iOS 9.x I was used to the battery draining from 100% down to about 80% in the period from leaving for work to arriving home ten hours later (that's a consistent period of little phone use for me). Now I'm consistently seeing numbers around 65% over that same period. Another datapoint: under iOS 9 the battery would only lose a couple percent if I forgot to charge it overnight; now it drops a full 25%!" MacInTouch 8:58 AM
