Are you at any point planning to address the core of my comment: Apple was for a long time purposefully undersizing their battery compared to the state of the art and what they should have shipped, or will you entirely refuse?

Because your comment is entirely missing the point at the moment.



Do you think that the most important metric for the state of the art is raw battery capacity, or hours of real world usage?


The point is not how long it lasts, the point is that it should have lasted significantly longer if they didn't skimp. There was absolutely no valid reason to not provide a decently sized battery in these phones.


Lower weight while still having longer endurance isn’t a valid reason?

How long the battery lasts, for it’s weight, is pretty much the only point of a battery.
