Guessing Solar panels on the back are still a decade away?
You plan on leaving your iPhone outside?

Even with the smaller process, these new phones are driving more pixels and have a lot more RAM and horsepower than before. That they’re able to achieve comparable battery life is fantastic. +/- 20-30 minutes is really not a big deal.
If we were talking about 4-5 hour battery life then we would have a real problem.
Isnt that the same case for cars? Want awd, luxury, 300-400hp you pay for it in Mpg. Want good mpg, you buy corolla. Its been like that for ages and i guess same trend catches up with the smartphones.
How many of us can say that we have doubled our productivity (when we're really trying) without any more energy expenditure?
Samsung is the only one doing the innovating. No other OEM knows enough or cares enough.

Please...don't say that when I'm drinking milk.
Solar panels are obviously not practical in mobile devices, for many reasons. The biggest and most obvious reason is that solar panels must sit in the sun to be of any use. That is the exact opposite of a good idea if that device happens to be a computer (or little computer, AKA mobile device). Computers can overheat. You better believe using your phone in the sun will cause it to overheat. Not to mention it'll give you quite the sun burn.I've been saying it for years - someone needs to come up with some solid solar-powered charging solution and start building that into the phones.
Yes, if you don't crank it up. If you don't crank it up to optimal brightness (in most cases close to max) screen is really bad and suffers from PWM flicker while whites are all colors except white.Wait, I thought OLED was supposed to save power versus LCD?
Yes, reality and the truth can be quite shocking. Anyone else doing anything for improving batteries and battery life without gimping the phone specs? I didn't think so. Carry on with your milk.
People are going to say that no one cares about weight but that isn’t true. My mother went into the Apple Store to buy a XR. She ended up buying the XS because it was 0.5g lighter and a bit smaller. That’s a major price premium for weight and size. That was what mattered most to her.Its not about thickness, it is weight that is the issue with a bigger battery. Too heavy to hold. The X is already too heavy.
Or just put a bigger, I mean BIGGER battery!
Since they don't give a damn about those of us who like smaller phones anyway!![]()
Me too! I keep my display as dim as possible. My battery easily lasts 1 1/2 days.I keep my brightness at like 30%..iPhone can go all day long.
And I’m always on this thing.
Yawwwnnnn.....Not a problem. I'm sure Apple will just sneak some software on to iOS to "improve" the battery life like they did before....
Did they? If so, then it is not big enough...They are putting bigger batteries in their phones. What are you talking about?
Well, it does make them more foldable, so there's that.There's no benefit to having a phone as thin as current iPhones anyway.
I don't think the XR LCD actually brings any improvements in display quality. The 1400:1 contrast ratio, 326 ppi, P3 color gamut, 625 cd/m2 max brightness, and True Tone support are all the same as the iPhone 8. What's new in the XR LCD is tucking the backlight under the display and the rounded corners which enable a better device form factor, but doesn't improve the visual quality of the display itself. In exchange, Apple no longer uses dual-domain pixels in the XR which is likely why people have noticed more off-axis color shift and narrower viewing angles on the XR compared to the iPhone 8. 3D Touch support was also removed, but that doesn't impact visual quality. So the XR LCD seems to offer worse display quality than previous iPhones even if the XR as a whole is a better phone for the compromises made to the display.This is incredibly dumb:
Battery company Onavo's CEO believes that consumers should "start getting ready for compromise," settling for smartphones with increasingly bigger batteries that result in larger, heavier devices or lesser technologies like the LCD display in the iPhone XR.
First, the LCD screen in the XR is better than any LCD screen shipped by Apple in prior iPhones.
I definitely want a phone powered by a brand new never before mass produced battery technology built by the same company that, by its own admission, built a battery with a major design flaw that caused it to frequently catch fire because they cut corners to rush it to market. That sounds like an awesome idea.Samsung is the only one doing the innovating. No other OEM knows enough or cares enough.

If consumers weren't so obsessed with thinner phones, companies wouldn't make them that way.If companies weren't obsessed with making everything as thin as possible, this wouldn't be an issue.
