A minor correction: The iPhone 6+ renders at 1242 x 2208 but scales it down to 1920 x 1080. So 30% more pixels at 50% more power?


It's the physical pixels that suck most of the power, so "77% more pixels" is more accurate.

Certainly the GPU on the iPhone 6+ is going to take more power because it's rendering at 1242x2208 rather than 1920x1080, but that's a minor effect compared to the physical screen power draw.
