Also, the battery was increased beyond the power needed for the extra display.
Yes but that makes sense. Horizontal phone size 5S->6+ increased by ~69%, screen size increased by say 65%. Overall phone volume increased by ~58%. If battery was 50% of the 5S volume and volume of electronics hasn't changed in 6+, the battery volume has increased by 116%. Some of these assumptions are likely off and the volumes slightly inaccurate but the point should stand.

Oh I'm not pretending it's not. Just making the observation. Also, the battery was increased beyond the power needed for the extra display.
