How long does it take to charge an iPhone 6s?

I have an iPhone 6s, the last days I reviewed how long it took to fully charge it's battery. I'm using the charger that came with the iPhone, and charging it powered on. Had the following times:

Wednesday: From 13% to 100% 2 hours and 10 minutes

Thursday: From 40% to 100% 2 hours

Friday: From 35% to 100% 2 hours and 3 minutes

Today: From 52% to 100% 1 hour and 40 minutes

Is that normal? How long should it take to fully charge an iPhone 6s? I wonder if it's normal that no matter if iPhone is 13% or 50% charged, it always takes about 2 hours to fully charge.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.0.2

It all depends on what the phone is doing in the background, which adapter your using, temperature, what percent you started at.

Perhaps if you explained why your asking this, someone could give you the information you really need.

Na, its not bad for it either. Actually, before when battery types were different it was actually recommended to drain it to 0 once in a while. Right now, it barely affects it.

What does that even mean? Why should you as an Apple user spend 3 hours charging your phone? The phone doesn't even retain charge it's dead within 3-4 hours max.

I have an iPhone se and I am surprised how fast it charges. It only takes an hour if on low battery.

Actually, I have had better battery time to charge than your testing as Ive had my iPhone 6S from 2-100 in less than 100 mi
