I don’t know the date the “Myth of high-capacity batteries” article was written that is referenced in the above chosen solution, but there’s a fairly recent one done by a reputable website, the Cult of Mac, in Feb. 2020, where they did the same test with two high capacity batteries and one of them lasted 26% longer. But they also found the other one barely lasted longer.
So it’s definitely NOT a myth, but it depends a lot on the manufacturer it seems… Which is pretty hard to know up front, unless you are pretty confident what you're buying.
It’s too bad iFixit does not sell a higher capacity battery, as they could easily do the tests, and then choose one that really gives you more power.
Here’s their article, which as a bonus, is based on the iPhone 6s! https://www.cultofmac.com/686299/replace...

I’m amazed that you got an iPhone 6s in January 2015 and Apple only released it in September 2015 :-)

You can get higher capacity batteries for the 6S now. I just installed one in my 6S last month which is putting out 2200mAh, as opposed to the 1715mAh it rolled out of the factory with. I have measured that capacity, I'm not just stating the manufacturer's claims. So yes, it is possible, but I don't believe they've managed anything higher than 2200 just yet.

@T W - Don't get taken! Anything higher is just marketing BS! The chemistry and the physical size dictates what's possible.
Think of it this way... A litter bottle can't hold more than a litter of water as much as someone will try to tell you they can do it.
