Don’t be confused by Apple’s advertisement: video playback means something different for Apple that what the name suggests. The time they give is for watching videos that are entirely decoded by the HW video stack of the CPU, with minimum SW in between. That’s probably true only for video on AppleTv+. You can’t do 22 hours of YouTube videos, that will pump way more juice.

People are way too gullible. Unfortunately your excellent and, in plain view point is missed by most. Well done for bringing it up.
