The problem with prolonging long battery life, is that most people don’t care.

They are told what to buy from flashy ads and multimillion marketing budgets. Keeping the battery week keeps you tethered to your desk and requires you to think about every night b for bend)did I plug in my phone?)

Low battery drives usage. If you had a large weeklong battery, you might put your phone down every now and again without looking at it... a big no no for big tech.

The reason we don't have week long battery life is because it is difficult to do, not to keep eyes on screens. Most companies are actively working on longer battery life.
