iPhone 6s Plus long charging time.

I have noticed that it has been taking nearly 2-3 hours to fully charge my iPhone 6s Plus from >5%. The battery has been lasting around 48 hours on charge so it should be in good condition. I was wondering if anybody was experiencing as long of charging times as I am or if it is normal with the larger battery. Even when I power the device off or turn it to airplane mode, it still takes a shocking amount of time to charge. Is there any way to fix this? (Upgraded from iPhone 5)

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.1, About 1 week new

You didn't tell us how you're charging your phone...is it via a USB port on your computer, or from a wall charger?

You must remember that number 1, iPhone 6s Plus has more features built in which requires more power to keep going. 2, the battery is double the capacity of iPhone 5 or possibly slightly more than that. So thus the super long charge. Since apple included fast charging in the new iPhones including the predecessors or the iPhone 6s and 6s plus, why not make use of it? To be honest I am also having a bit of trouble with it. 22% to 99% in 2 hours plus.
