Don't be ridiculous: what would a caveman do with money

Don't be ridiculous: what would a caveman do with money
Why is it such a hard concept to accept that the iPhone 5 does not have enough battery life and Apple should spend some R&D money on better batteries instead of reusing the same one over and over with each iPhone?
Probably use it to help get the fire going.
With all that money just sitting around collecting dust, why doesn't Apple use it to bring to market new battery technology that is more advanced than lithium ion?
The percentage of people who take battery life into account when buying a phone is practically 0. I supported iPhones for over 2 years, and I never heard any of the sales guys EVER talking about battery life to a customer. It just doesn't happen.
Although, tbh going by the Op's other posts on this forum, this whole thread is just another bash at Apple (he's never had anything positive to say about them).
On what basis do you call it crappy? Who is doing it better?
Most people realize that once you can make it through the day, improvements beyond that are nice, but not a high priority. Better batteries will come, and it will be great, but I'd rather see improvements to laptop power efficiency first so that a light laptop can go 10-20 hours. That's a way bigger deal right now than extending my phones battery life further.
Are you being serious? These days phones look the same, has touch screen with frames around of it, be it apple or another. Not everybody has sentimental value when they buy something.
For average joe, when they see a phone on a display, there is a display sheet beside of it. I am sure they will see and check the stats about the battery, no need explanation from a sales guy.
For a user who like to research first. When they surfing the internet, they will look for a tech specs and they will easily find how much mAh the battery on that phone has.
Why do you think samsung could sell a lot of their devices? They are not that a lot cheaper than apple devices, even often more expensive than another android devices. It's that simple.
Apple still use the same battery technology as another, which is lithium-ion. Still use dual core processor. The most efficient thing that make their hardware looks so great and perform well is the simple yet effective iOS. And their Apps numbers vary so much, the most thing i love from iOS is that they have a lot of Apps for those who work on oil field like me.
I don't choose my gadget because of a sentimental value, meh i'm not a teenager and it's just a phone. Unless if it's a car.
OMG, of course they have bigger batteries. Don't tell me, you are going to use the Apple loyalist excuse that because it is not exactly the same as an iPhone, the iPhone is better.
I agree with a poster above that battery tech innovation will come from the automotive industry most probably. Currently they will be pushing for smaller, faster charging batteries for future cars that last much longer and the tech will eventually be able to trickle down to phones.
And you think a day is ok? It lasts a day when you pretty much don't do anything. Who is doing better? Maxx battery can last couple of days easily. Also, apple is no ordinary company. It takes a company like apple to make a difference. For example NFC. It's a great technology. But unless apple hops on it, it's not going anywhere. Batteries can be improved, and there is technology out there. All we need is some capital investment that can kickstart it.
I for one am happily noting that the OP is in time out.
Pretty tired of the passive-aggressive trolling that's been going on here. It lowers the overall tone of the board.
I agree. The tolerance level here for trolling and personal attacks is unusually high for a mainstream board.
Since when is it only Apple's responsibility to create a new battery? What about Dell, Samsung, Sony, etc.?
Yes, for most people a day is fine. If you can charge overnight, there is little incentive to spend much effort making it better.
Again, the Maxx gets better life because its a much larger device. If you want that battery life in a phone, use a battery case.

You are ready to defend Apple no matter what. Never mind. There are people who actually use their phones. These phones need to be more power efficient.
Because your definition of "innovation" is a pathetically gray area that will never be satisfied.
They could radically change battery tech and you would just complain that 3 days isn't enough... why not 5? Or 7?
It's amazing how people can just agree with this crappy battery life. When I was in engendering school, they were talking about carbon nanotubes batteries. That can last 10 times as long. Apple needs to do a lot of things. Battery, UI change, storage etc.
