Why do you think your cell phone consumes more power now? I remember my iPhone 3G getting really physically hot while web browsing.
We measure battery tech progress in energy density, not how long your device will last (since a ton of other tech goes into your device using less power, like transistor shrinking for example. Or a javascript jit).
- sqeaky 11y ago> Why do you think your cell phone consumes more power now? Good question. The ratings I read before I buy them. At the time of purchase I knew that exact mAh it consumed and compared to previous phones. I blame the 7 inch screen, 3 different antennas and 3 extra processors that my older phone didn't have. EDIT - Grammar and wording.
- louithethrid 11y agoWell, ones mans history is another mens present. Returned from climbing to find that my android phone in the locker was hot like a brick from the furnace, every little bit of energy spend communicating through the em-cage that is the locker with the gyms- wifi-spot - for a upgrade. Also most prog-tech goes into not doing anything at all, if we can not avoid it. Send it to the server, sleep over it, reuse allready constructed objects of the same type- there is a whole world dancing to this tune.
