If I fully charge My iPhone 6 Plus
I keep it switched off.
I take it with me when I go camping.
If I want to call home when the battery only has 5% power left to let them know I am OK as far into my trip as possible when should I call. In other words with phone off how many days or hours would it take for battery to be almost flat at say 5% charge left.
Thanks
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1.3

If a phone is fully charged, then switched off, not merely put in sleep mode, the battery should be good for a matter of moths, not days. The exact length of time will depend on storage conditions. If the phone is stored somewhere very cold, it will retain battery life for a much shorter period of time.
TThanks for your input. The person at Apple Centre in Chatswood must be not being honest with me. My iPhone 6 plus is 5 weeks old and I have hardly used it and in off mode after being fully charged it goes flat. He said that is how long the battery lasts. But according to the specs he is not being honest I will have to take contact apple care. Thank you
Thanks for your input. The person at Apple Centre in Chatswood must be not being honest with me. My iPhone 6 plus is 5 weeks old and I have hardly used it and in off mode after being fully charged it goes flat after 4 days. He said that is how long the battery lasts. But according to your answer he is not being honest I will have to take contact apple care again and waste mord time trying to get to the bottom of this. The weather is Sydney is very warm at the moment. Thank you
Before you assume that someone lied to you, let's make sure we're all on the same page. Are you turning the phone off by pressing and holding the power button until you get the message to slide across the screen to power off and then sliding to power off? That's what "off" means. If you're just tapping the power button and turing the screen off, that's just putting the phone in to sleep mode. How long the battery will last in sleep mode depends on a large number of factors.
Notice where it says UP TO 16 days. That doesn't mean you will get 16 days. It means that under optimal conditions (no unneeded processes running, device in sleep mode, etc.) you may get up to 16 days.
If you're concerned about running out of power, then get a portable battery pack. I have one that has twice the capacity of my iPhone battery (meaning I can get three times the 'normal' battery life. And it cost about $25, IIRC.
Correct. I push button in and then slide. It is off not in sleep mode. Tx
IIt is not in sleep mode. I push button top right in and then slide Arrow on screen to turn it off. It is not in sleep mode. Tx
