why do we need batteries to last more than a day? plug in at night, job done. Any more capacity is just a waste of precious battery materials and extra bulk to carry around for no reason.
If you’re a special case who for some reason has to go multiple days away from a charger, you have portable battery banks now.
…because modern smartphones to a shit ton more than pre-2007. if you want your phone to do more, as most people do, yeah, they are going to use more engery. it’s hardly a con pulled on us.
modern smartphones are extremely efficient for what they do, to the point that Apple decided to redo their computer architecture based on their phones. their baseline laptops don’t even need fans they are so energy and heat efficient.
Or put another way, they look your 15in mobile computer with a few hours of battery life, made it small enough to fit in your pocket, and extended battery life for an entire day.
I mean, they reduced battery life from 5 days to 1 and told everyone to suck it up, so there’s that’s.
For what you got on exchange at the time it was worth it, imo. Battery technology is still holding technology back.

You are looking at it the wrong way.
It’s not about using more, it’s about getting more battery life from less resources and at the same size. Of course, also safely.

I’d say the opposite - what you got at the time was not worth it. The first iPhone didn’t even do email if I remember correctly.
We might say it’s worth now, but even that bus because of the ecosystem and other technologies improving around it .
