Unfortunetely(?) not. Just the plain old 6. I did some reading on that though and it does appear to be specific to the 6s.

The issues started to appear after the iOS 10 update. The rational part of my brain knows that it is a newer OS that will demand more of my hardware, including the battery. The cynic in me knows that Apple would love me to buy a new phone soon.

To update my own question, although I couldn't find it before, the Apple web site says it is $99 CAD and can often be done at the Genius Bar while you wait. Edit: Basically what Ken0042 just posted!

10 years ago I would have been all over a self repair, and taken my chance on an aftermarket battery (they are probably manufactured side by side anyway) and celebrated the money saved. But these days: ain't nobody got time for that.
