I was recently at the airport and the airport was nice enough to provide power plugs. I happen to be sitting next to them for about 1.5 hours and counted six phones, one Samsung Galaxy S3, and a 3DS.
I used to own a battery pack too, back when I had an iPhone, it was a required accessory unfortunately. Since then I've owned a Samsung Note (1), LG G2, and Sony Z3, and all three of them last 2-3 days, and I have no need for a battery pack.
Even if size was a concern I could purchase a Sony Z3 Compact which is "iPhone 6 sized" but has twice the battery life or more.
Back in the iPhone 4 (ish) day the iPhone had "impressive" battery life. However Apple has stood still while everyone else has continuously improved. Now most non-Apple phones (Galaxy S5, LG G3, Sony Z3, Note 4, Windows Phone, etc) last substantially longer than Apple unless you're buying an unbranded piece of junk.
