No. The largest memory hogs are FireFox, Photoshop, and Lightroom Classic.
8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple

They also claimed that mAh in the iPhone are different than in all other phones, that's why packing shitty battery was alright.
Never seen this claimed, but apple absolute does trounce qualcomm and everyone else in terms of perf/w. iPhones with 3300mah batteries are getting longer sot than android flagships with 5000mah (and greater) batteries. The state of the android ecosystem is a complete joke and has been for years.
So, anyway, iPhone has a just a little bit better optimizations in some specific usage modes and that difference is mostly long gone. Today if we see 3300 battery in a phone it will definitely have a shitty autonomy.

Of course they don't, it is simply not possible, outside of some awful models maybe. For instance in the current gen, iPhone 15 Pro with 3300 mAh gets 86 score at GSMArena, and S23 Ultra with 5000 mAh gets 126. A dramatic difference. S23 non-plus, which is a better opponent to 15 Pro as they are the same size, has 3900 mAh and scores 101 at that site. So all is quite proportional to the battery size. Or we can throw…
The S23 Ultra only gets 126h 'endurance' because it can do 40 hours of phone calls, a lot more than the iPhone. How many phone calls do you make? It has worse battery life for things you actually do on a phone.
From their data, S23 5000mah vs iPhone 15 3300mah:
- games: 8h44m vs 8h16m
- video playback: 15h47m x 18h20m
- web browsing: 10h51m x 11h43m
Comparing against the iPhone 15 Max (still a smaller battery at 4400mah) it's a lot worse.

Taking those scores on GSMArena at face value is bullshit (if anyone is wondering, that's 86h and 126h on their 'endurance rating'). The S23 Ultra only gets 126h 'endurance' because it can do 40 hours of phone calls, a lot more than the iPhone. How many phone calls do you make?

Basically optimizations of the iphones can compensate maybe a few hundreds of mAh, but not 2000, that's not possible.

Remember that time they removed the headphone jack and claimed it was better without one?
remember when that was back in 2016 and the faithful have bought airpods in the 7 years since, and realized they were right?
