This is What a Smartphone With an 18,000mAh Battery Looks Like

Bruh, you obviously don't know anything about batteries. This phone has a 18,000mAh battery. That's 3 times the power provided by most battery cases, let alone something you can get for $30. I think people are really riding the bandwagon here since the phone is super thick without actually thinking about it.

I think the usual (and possibly unspoken) assumption is that the hypothetical thicker battery phone would stay on par with the state of the art in the other aspects. This Energizer-phone on the other hand, as the article states, "is unimpressive compared to other modern smartphones with the exception of its insane battery."
So at the moment we have the choice between good phone with poor battery and poor phone with good battery. Given this, it is probably easier to find workarounds for the poor battery than it is for the poor phone, making the former the better choice. That does not mean that a hypothetical good phone with a good battery would not be even better.
Reading MacRumors comments. There are countless comments wishing for thicker phones with bigger batteries.
You guys are 100% sure that kind of news goes under "Mac Rumors", or even "Apple Rumors" or...? Or you just intended to throw in some additional flame?
Oh I see. Now we’re waiting for someone to come up with a 2D 10“ phone with absolutely no removable parts and battery life of 4 hours, which would be the wet dream of a real Apple user, as opposed to a MR one?
Actually, _if_ this phone had existed in 1995, I would gladly had used this, given the touchscreen capability and battery life, considering most cell phones were not touchscreen at that time or even operating with advanced software like Android.
Those who still whine how thin the iPhone and want a bigger battery. I hope your mindsets will change after seeing this one.
I'm excited for this actually. This is what I want to be perfectly frank. This reminds me of my S3 with my ZeroLemon battery in a modified Otterbox. I LOVED it and would happy to see this be an offering from other device manufacturers.
Same motivation goes for MacRumors' editors decision to feature this article on the front page.
Since you're driving the point - no. Macrumors readers are not representative of the Apple demographic in the slightest.
I've never thought about the power efficiency advantages of a single larger battery vs swappable batteries before. So a single larger battery with an external power bank is likely to lose less charge while idling than the equivalent amount of power stored across five or six smaller batteries even when taking into account the ineffieciency of transferring power from the power bank's battery to the phone's battery?
The old throw the brick in the lake test. All joking aside, I think the name is actually worse than the idea (the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop).
And I can add 1 mile to a 3,000 trip. Does that make 1 mile shorter somehow? My comparison is valid. Have you put them side by side? You can totally tell there is an increase in thickness. I held both phones next to each other. It’s not my imagination, but this discussion is getting pretty silly. Fact: XR is thicker than 6S, which is all I claimed. Coincidentally, battery life on my XR is way better than my 6S ever was.
