If anything, the iPhone needed a longer or bigger battery.
I can't believe they would take their customers so much for most stupid inbred customer (which they are) that they would go ahead a put smaller battery, in a 16GB base model that still manages to cost ever more!.
Yes because every apple customer is stupid & inbred unlike yourself who's grammar is excellent I must add. Just to entertain you for a sec are you aware that even though the battery is smaller there's nothing so far to say that battery performance will be affected, I'd wager that the new phones & their processors are far more efficient negating any issues, well done though for making it as clear as day that you are a massive troll, feel free to stick around & waste your life on here...
