Who reads that anyway? When at the airport, the last thing anyone does is read advertisement propaganda.
Anyway, those folks charging phones at the airport have not charged their phones for two days or more.
Got a tip for us?

I've been switching back and forth the last few days between my LG G2 and my iPhone 5s. Both of them receive the same heavy use and the same apps, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, whatsapp internet browsing texting and phone calls. The G2 kills the iPhone in battery life. By 4 or 5 pm the iPhone is under 20% whereas the LG will be around 50% or so.
Now what I'm saying on efficiency is if Apple where to build a phone the same size as the G2 and put the same size battery in, it would kill the G2. The problem is we all know Apple is obsessed with thin phones and small batteries. Doesn't matter how efficient the phone is, if they stuff a tiny little battery in it and it doesn't last a full day, what's the point?
Exactly.
I’ve never seen a disproportionate number if iPhone users vs. Android/Windows/Blackberry users using the public recharging stations, or available outlets in DC, Boston, SF, Atlanta, Pittsburgh or NY. In my experience, I see an even distribution of devices are plugged in, or vying for charge space.
I’m (or the wife and myself) are usually just relaxing using a couple of 10000mAh Poweradd to charge (if even necessary) while we enjoy some drinks and food
The commercials are true though. I spend a lot of time at work in courtrooms, and yesterday we had a few hours of downtime. Everyone in the room was sitting around playing with their phones. My 4S battery died on me while everyone else was going strong (all android users). So I was sitting staring off into space waiting for court to start while everyone else was still having fun.
My 4S battery life probably is getting on the short side and could use replacement. So even the ability to swap out your battery sounds like a pretty nice feature compared to apple's "innovation".

Even thou Apple did increase the battery for the iPhone 6, I feel as thou it's not going to be much of a difference from the 5/5S.
The screen is slightly bigger so already the battery is going to take a hit. They really didn't have to slim the phone so much to not allow a bigger battery. And now that dreadful camera lens that stick out.
How much thinner do you folks want you phone to be, as thin as paper like in the movie "Ultraviolet", when she uses a public payphone and two sheets of paper with numbers on it popped out the machine?

My 5s has a ultra power saving mode. Its called airplane mode or shutting off the phone. Which is probably the same thing the galaxy does to sip power.
If anything, you actually proved him right. Of that entire list, only 2 Android models charge faster than iPhones, and the Galaxy S5 is brand new.
Seriously? I can't think of a single reason to choose iOS over Android, except for personal preference. And if you prefer Android over iOS it doesn't matter what Apple releases, there is something to match (and probably trump) it in the Android camp.

Yes and that becomes the answer- spend even more money to buy some extra things so that we don't have to hug a wall. We do that too but with battery cases and even then we still find ourselves on the hunt for wall outlets and sitting on floors near outlets.
Our iPhones are a smaller battery sandwiched between a screen and a back wall. That back wall is against a front wall of a battery case, sandwiching another battery and then it's own back wall. The case also has circuitry, buttons, etc to make it hook together well with an iPhone.
It would be great to get rid of 2 of those walls, that added (case) circuitry and that second set of buttons. All it would take is Apple not making "thinnest" paramount and instead choosing to pause on the thinning here or even slightly thinning from here and then filling the taller & wider iPhone 6 with added battery. I know that won't happen but it would be great if Apple would take this message to heart and actually do what they could do about it… which is not just optimizing iOS but also leaving a little room to go toe-to-toe on the actual battery size.
If your iPhone causes you to be tethered to the wall in large public venues, it's a sign. It's not a sign that you need to buy a Samsung. It's a sign that you need to spend less time staring at your phone.
Pretty much every Android phone has the iPhone beat in battery life?? Hyperbole much?
A phone that is effectively in airplane mode is not much use for anything productive. You can do that yourself with an iPhone when the battery gets to 10%. The only difference is the Samsung phone will do it automatically if you want.
OMG. A company other than Apple has promoted one of its products. Oh the humanity!

'Ultra Power Saving Mode' or the only way to have okay battery life on your Andriod device. It's essentially a setting to turn off all settings. However, Apple should have a mode like this or a tutorial in the Tips app, or in 'Usage' to explain to people how to get better battery life, because a lot of people have all settings on and assume the iPhone has poor battery life, when in reality it's the fact that they have too many settings killing battery life, specifically things like push mail from multiple servers and background app refresh.
Samsung is just too early with these ads. I love the iPhone and prefer it over Samsung devices, but the truth is Galaxy S5 has waaaay better battery life. But the thing is: the previous Samsung Galaxy phones don't and relatively few people own Galaxy S5 compared to other Samsung devices, so these ads can't possibly resonate with a lot of people.
Now, if iPhone 6 shows no improvement in battery life and the next Samsung flagship is shown to maintain the battery life lead over iPhone, then these ads would probably make sense.

I think this is trying to make people thing that Samsung has better battery life. Even though their phones are 50% larger than Apple's they only manage around 4% better battery life. While an iPhone with a battery case lasts more than 2 and a half times longer than the Galaxy S5
