Personally I don’t care about the size of the battery, I care about how long it lasts. There have been rumors that Apple is working on improved battery tech. Their SoCs are also crazy efficient and super fast.
What I expect to happen is that they will equip the iPhone Air with this next-gen battery tech (probably not a massive improvement, but something like 10-20% more energy in the same volume would already be a big win), combined with a throttled down SoC with fewer cores (still plenty fast for anyone but the most demanding users), that will allow them to reduce power usage by a lot. Add to that the already excellent power-management in iOS, maybe tweaked a little more aggressively, and they’ll have a phone that’s super thin and lasts all day.
People will hold this phone for 3 seconds and be sold.
A 20% improvement on batteries wouldn't make it wafer thin though. I get your point about how long it lasts being the part that actually matters, I just don't see us having phones people want to use that can last a full day and are that thin. At least not anytime soon.
People right now buy phones that have way way more performance than they'd ever need, all the time, I don't expect that to change for the general market.
having a larger battery capacity can allow you to charge other devices from the phone, like wireless earbuds.
Something I’ve never done, or wanted to do, in my life.
