iPhone Charging

The iPhone 6/6+ and latest Samsung phones offer greater battery life. Does this mean that daily battery life drainage will no longer be an issue now and in the future?

Regardless of how efficient Apple designs the battery and charging circuitry in their new iPhones, it still depends on how you use your iPhone. If you just let it sit idle waiting for a phone call and do nothing else on it, battery life will be extended, but to say that it will no longer be an issue is not ever going to happen.

But the new phones last at least for a full day and maybe more. Does this mean that daily battery life drainage will no longer be an issue now and in the future? Could this mean the phasing out of portable chargers, carrying around cables and less of a need for city charging points?

chscag already answered this question. The success of a battery long term is wholly dependent on how people use their phones and the hardware that surrounds a battery.

Again, that depends on the user. I can get three days on my iPhone battery but I rarely if ever play games on it or do a lot of other things that would consume the battery. Some folks like my son are on their iPhone constantly (he's a stock broker) and needs to re-charge more often. Even with the new iPhone 6+ and extended battery life a portable charger or add on pack is still a reality.
