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.

I’d say the opposite - what you got at the time was not worth it. The first iPhone didn’t even do email if I remember correctly.

We might say it’s worth now, but even that bus because of the ecosystem and other technologies improving around it .

Or put another way, they look your 15in mobile computer with a few hours of battery life, made it small enough to fit in your pocket, and extended battery life for an entire day.
