If you look at the ifixit tear down, the Samsung GN 7 battery also looks smaller than the iPhone 7 Plus battery. I can't imagine having a higher energy density is doing Samsung any favors. Could this be why Apple pushes so hard on the SoC front? It's technically easier to increase performance and reduce power consumption of your SoC than it is to improve the battery capacity safely?

> GN 7 battery also looks smaller than the iPhone 7 Plus battery Could be, it definitely looks smaller in two dimensions. But it also looks thicker -- the i7 teardown doesn't show the thickness as clearly but it doesn't appear to have anything like the 'pouch' you can see on the GN 7 battery.
