Of course your phone has a short runtime, it both has a small battery and it's 3 years old so the battery's worn out. One of the main reasons why small phones remain a niche is that improvements in battery technology have been far outpaced by improvements in SoCs, so the easiest way to improve a device's battery life vs. the older model is to make it larger so it can fit a bigger battery. Even when it was new, the re…
If only one could open the back and replace the battery, the thing that has been known to everybody to wear out while the rest of the device is perfectly functional. One could only dream of such advanced technology. Maybe in 10 years.

Sounds reasonable, but why can't we just compare it, the mAh of this phone's battery is a secret or something?
> the mAh of this phone's battery is a secret or something It can easily be measured from the time required to fully charge the phone (when turned off), and continuously monitoring the power it draws from the charger.
The exact mAh is only secret until the first non-Apple person who wants to know gets one.

"It has more battery life than the iPhone 16 but less than the iPhone 16 Pro."
Bigger phones have bigger batteries, making it not a like for like comparison.

Apple managed to design its own state-of-the-art CPUs. I wouldn't have imagined that designing its own modem would be such a difficult challenge?
One difficult I remember reading is: they can't always do things an obvious way someone else did because... patents.

My iPhone today last for less than a day while I dont watch any video on it, In fact, i barely use it currently, and it still drains batteries in no time. Odd. I wonder if you have some apps updating in the background a lot. Both my personal and my work iPhones are two-years-old, and both will last several days even with audio streaming. I put my work phone in its drawer last Thursday, and when I took it out on Tuesd…
Tailscale and Wireguard absolutely murder the battery if the network is down/flakey.
At this point there’s only really one thing I want from an iPhone and that’s an option for a 12/13 mini sized device again. Surely those phones didn’t sell so few that it’s not worth doing at all?
A handful of years ago, before anyone had figured out how to properly optimize for attention, we all had small-screen phones. The “small phone” problem is really just that it’s not as addictive. Apple wants you to spend more time on-screen [0] and so do you [1.] I really hope you’re not thinking about spending less time on-screen. Technology companies love you and care about you. They usually know what’s best. You sh…
USB-C connector with support for: USB 2 (up to 480Mb/s) Can someone explain why they are pushing USB 2 speeds via USB-C connector in 2025? Can't believe it's cost... It's a shame.
why wouldn't it be cost? even if it's only a few cents per unit, they're still going to sell millions of these, it all adds up and the best place to cut costs is in the places where most people don't actually care.

> No MagSafe, only Qi. Qi2 is based on Magsafe. https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/3/23538131/qi2-wireless-char...
Qi2 doesn’t require the magnetic component however.
