I have owned nearly every premium phone on the market and none of them come close to the Sony Xperia for battery life. I try new iPhones every other model or so...battery life has never been outstanding.

Do you disable Background App Refresh? First thing that I do on every iDevice. That feature being on is hugely overrated, you absolutely don't need it because you enter an app and manually refresh it; what's the big deal with that, are people that lazy?... Gods!
(The only useful application of that feature is email apps, I suppose; you do want to have your messages downloaded when you unlock your phone because Apple Mail takes ages to sync with Gmail... and it only gets worse with time.)
With that option set to "on" the idle battery life might quickly take a nose dive if you have stuff like Facebook / TikTok / Snapchat et. al. installed.
