It’s interesting that battery stories generate so much opprobrium when battery performance has increased so dramatically over the last couple of decades.

Don't know why, I just love esoteric words thrown into a sentence when a simple one would do.

What about the last decade? My guess is that iPhone battery density hasn't improved at all.

Looking at currently available 18650s, they are the same ones I was buying for my e-cig in 2015. Which were already a year or two old at that point.

However the prices seem to have come down a bit despite all the inflation since then.
