Is it just hardware that helps extend battery life or is it the combination of hardware and software? One advantage for Apple is that they are both the hardware and software designer hence they can optimise both to take advantage of each other.

It’s always the sum of all that extends battery life but even when Linux support was just “CPU only rendering and minimal powersave functionality using unmodified DE components” the battery life was still decent. Brute force is quite the force.
