I mean, they reduced battery life from 5 days to 1 and told everyone to suck it up, so there’s that’s.
For what you got on exchange at the time it was worth it, imo. Battery technology is still holding technology back.
why do we need batteries to last more than a day? plug in at night, job done. Any more capacity is just a waste of precious battery materials and extra bulk to carry around for no reason.
If you're a special case who for some reason has to go multiple days away from a charger, you have portable battery banks now.
You are looking at it the wrong way.
It's not about using more, it's about getting more battery life from less resources and at the same size. Of course, also safely.
...because modern smartphones to a shit ton more than pre-2007. if you want your phone to do more, as most people do, yeah, they are going to use more engery. it's hardly a con pulled on us.
modern smartphones are extremely efficient for what they do, to the point that Apple decided to redo their computer architecture based on their phones. their baseline laptops don't even need fans they are so energy and heat efficient.
