Apple is premium tech; people should have no problem spending that kind of money if they want a phone that separates them from the Android peasants.
So what you're saying is that Apple has to totally invent the technology in order to be innovative?
Not saying that this is it, but whoever wins the race to produce a sensibly sized smart phone with enough juice to last 2+ days on a single charge with accepted average levels of daily use will be the next to be truly able to claim "this changes everything".
I'm lucky if my phone lasts till the late evening after an 8am start and I am definitely not a heavy user.
Last i checked fuel cells were in "the low 5 digits" according to the company i was inquiring from. These were small ones as well as far as these things go.
Really curious how Apple could move the needle on this tech, because it is the most amazing thing since the Internal Combustion Engine. ( Yes and better than graphene).
...and now Samsung plays the waiting game with its best copycats roaring to get started...
While the tabloid does not have a strong rumor track record
Sorry to be that guy but 99% of the contents of the Daily Mail is unsubstantiated rumour...
The next revolution is in battery capacity. It would change everything and it would truly launch the world into a new era.
What about those perforated super batteries that are "cheaper and store 20 times more power than conventional batteries"? Or "stacked layers of graphene" that is apparently "super awesome and super cheap to make" now that "scientists finally find cheap way to manufacture graphene using floppy drive"? Or is every single tech article I read about complete bull?
But then what will the trolls complain about?
While the tabloid does not have a strong rumor track record...
George Clooney said:The Daily Mail, more than any other organization that calls itself news, has proved time and time again that facts make no difference in the articles they make up.
Seriously, I'm an average user and get 2 days on iPhone 5s. Do I want more? Always. Do I wish my battery wasn't at 3% by the end of day 2. Sure, low battery warnings scare me. Do I need it to be better? Not really because I usually charge it daily.
people will finally shut up about the post-jobs innovation problem
Samsung has already expressed interest in NEAH Power. They're using formic acid as an energy source.

"Fuel cell firm Intelligent Energy may be partnering with Apple."
The key here is that a company called Intelligent Energy already has fuel cell technology and intends to use them with portable devices, Apple wants to apply this technology to their own products. Apple isn't innovating anything here.
All that is happening "post-jobs" is still promoting a myth that Apple actually innovates and not just adapts other people's technology into their products.
Actually a fcp laptop is less likely than a flying car.Popular Science material. I haven't read Popular Science since they were obsessing over flying cars and 3-wheeled motorcycles, but I'll bet they're going nuts with graphene.

I'm pretty sure the iPhone battery issue is solved by iPhone 7 at the latest. ... If Iphone 6 doesn't solve this, then I'm sure iPhone 7 does.
