All things that could enhance the battery life.
Plus, not checking the stupid Facebook and Snapchat every 30 seconds helpsFirst off... these are rumors... second, it's obvious that Apple ignores it's user base — it's why they're so successful.
BTW... you can gain battery life in other ways besides throwing in a bigger battery. Lower energy parts, better power management, or maybe a even a battery case with an odd hump on it?
No it is not. I bet there is no air pocket or empty space in the 6 or 6s.
Apple made that mistake with the first iPhone and the recessed headphone jack. The iPhone wasn't even that popular yet and people complained for days about it. Time marches on, etc etc, but I don't think Apple would gamble that big on their biggest money maker and risk pissing off hundreds of millions of people upgrading who no longer can use any of their (sometimes expensive) headphones. This is really going to be a defining moment for Apple so they better not mess it up. There's little else in tech that riles people up like limiting them and requiring them to purchase extra adapters, especially just to do something as basic as listening to music. As it is, Apple Music has been a little slow out of the gate. This would only hurt that effort. They have to be smart about it. At 6.1mm it's technically able to fit the jack—I mean isn't that the same thickness as the iPod Touch? So they better have a good reason ready as well as a solution. They bought Beats—put those engineers to use! People on the forums swear that their headphones have gotten better over the past year. I still haven't tried them again.
Yes it is! And next year Apple will offer a true wireless charging case.(not that charging mat stuff, but true wireless).
Exactly. People seem to be wound up over battery size and thickness, when there are many things that make up how long the phone will run. I am less concerned about the battery size (although it has influence obviously) than I am about phone duration. Today I almost always get through the day without charging the phone. But if I forget to charge it overnight I am screwed the next day.
I see that you've really been taken in by Apple's marketing. I couldn't care less about Apple challenging their engineers in useless ways such as making it even thinner than it already is.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Apple loves to make money from accessories.
The iPhone 7 is the optimal thinness. No one wants a phone to be thinner. I know we've said that about every previous iPhone, but this time it's really true. Rather than making the iPhone 8 thinner, Apple should keep the perfect thickness of the iPhone 7, and use the extra space to increase battery life.
It definitely makes more sense than Apple implementing this expensive , big ,first gen tech in a thin iPhone that is already cramped.
By then, Apple will perhaps release an iPhone that has a foldable screen and can fold out to become an iPad sized display. And that is the time their obsession and knowledge for creating thin designs will actually become useful.
Watt hours is the relevant number-- the amount of energy stored. If you knew the voltage, you could figure out the amp hours but the only reason you want those numbers is so you can multiply them back together and get the Watt hours.
