Maybe the iPhone could inherit the sapphire display also??

No? I know wishful thinking.
Would be too expensive and not necessary when most people put a case on anyway. Apple does have the Sapphire technology on the iPhone camera lenses though at least on the Pro’s they do.

This guy is just throwing random BS.

 
Or may be we should get off social media. I mean, every time the battery and efficiency has gotten bigger and better, companies put more and more processing into the apps and hacked our brains to using it more and more.
I see what you did there. Posting on social media that we should stop using social media!
 
I'm good on battery and doubt I got below 20% on my 13 Pro more than a handful of times in the three years I owned it. I haven't been below 50% with my 16 Pro, and I don't charge between waking and bedtime.

Having zero social media apps installed really helps battery life.
There's always room for improvement, Hat.
 
The main purpose of the regular iPhone is to make it more affordable. If Apple put all the technology from the Pro into the regular iPhone, it would be the same iPhone with the same price. What’s the point of having a Pro if it has the same features and price of the regular iPhone?
Nobody is asking for all of the Pro tech in the regular iPhone. We are discussing screens here and it’s a well-known behavior from Apple to gatekeep tech to squeeze even more out of their customers. A perfect example would be the 120ghz display only on Pro when on android it’s far more affordable to get a 120ghz screen. So no, i am not asking for the fancy tech pro line has, I don’t need 3 lenses and all the bells and whistles. I simply said it would be good to have this particular tech on regular iPhones too.

By your logic Apple Watch Ultra and Titanium AW Series 10 are the only ones in the lineup that should have this tech in screens since the regular aluminium Series 10 is an equivalent of the regular iPhone. But the regular AW series 10 has this tech.

You’re correct. No one is asking for all of it but different people are asking for different things. You want the screen, somebody else wants the camera, somebody else might want the titanium frame.

If you call making a more affordable device, gatekeeping sure. by gatekeeping more expensive hardware they are making the phone more affordable. If they only sold pro priced phones, then they would be gatekeeping out customers that couldn’t afford it.

No, you’re only asking for part of it. Someone else is asking for another part. Should Apple your request or another person’s request? How about just make a phone with all those features and call it the Pro model? Even granting one of those requests is going to raise the price of the regular iPhone. Apple already gets enough criticism for not making more budget friendly hardware. You can’t buy a $50 iPhone like you can buy a $50 Samsung phone.

I don’t need 3 lenses and all the bells and whistles. I simply said it would be good to have this particular tech on regular iPhones too.
There are a lot of people that would like three lenses on the regular iPhone. Why is your screen request more important? Someone might argue that taking better photos is more important than having a better looking screen. It’s all about what you do with your phone. if you’re watching YouTube videos all the time or playing games then the screen is more important. If you’re taking photos all the time, the camera is more important.

Because it’s probably within the budget to make this on the regular Apple Watch. This is what Apple does when they design things. They “gatekeep” certain components off the more affordable devices.
 
Battery age probably has more to do with it than an OS update; my first generation SE used to go about 36 hours between charges, but now lasts about 24 between charges, but the battery health is also down to 81%. Given that it can't get watchOS 11 or higher it'll be replaced this holiday season (so long as Santa has his Apple card out).
no it was very clear.
the battery and Watch were fine on OS9.
when 10 came along and updated it cut 30% off the old hours ;(

no update fixed it.
i wish i'd stayed on 9...
 
Not expecting it in the near future, but probably will be available on iPhones in a few years time.
