I understand that. My point being that 25 year old tech, before the real miniatyrization of circuits and power efficiency mind you, has 7x charge time and yet we are impressed by a few additional hours.
> Here is an experiment to try. Use your phone as you currently do, but turn on airplane mode when you aren't otherwise using the phone. Leave it on overnight too.
Sure but to what benefit?
I already addressed the tweaks i did do in a sibling comment. Putting the phone in airplane mode is no different than having a dead battery in terms of usability.
This is stuff your Nokia didn’t do at the same scale. At best some sms at a significantly reduced polling rate.
My apps auto update in the background. Something my Nokia from 2007 didn’t do.
So there are many passively provided features but by definition they are not obvious to you and as such harder to appreciate.
If you have an iPhone: I use low power mode constantly. I have an automation to use it at 75% or less battery.
I get roughly 2 days of battery life without any YouTube usage.
SMS was piggybacked onto the control plane messaging. That is why the limit was 160 chars (only space available) and why texts can still work when the cell towers are overloaded.
Yes because those phones by comparison do nothing so it’s a meaningless comparison.
It’s like arguing that we shouldn’t be impressed about EV range improvements because the bicycle exists.
We were able to call with them and send messages. On top of that I mostly use browser with my current phone on comparison, while not necessary.
Acting like physics doesn’t exist and we should be able to get a month long battery life whilst doing all of the above is idiotic. No other way to describe it.
I see it got you riled up for some reason, but I cannot see why.
Well, it's about the same as using Nokia 3310.
All batteries degrade when you subject them to 1000 full recharge cycles.
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 Tuesday, it still had 11% left.
The drop down menu doesn't actually disable bluetooth so that alone won't work.
It'd usually last around 2 weeks with data off. I imagine an iPhone would fare even better.
