"Mah what? mAh battery is going to last how long?"
It would be a meaningless number to non-engineers. Sounds like we need smarter predictive algorithms based on previous usage patterns etc, not degrading the "average user" experience.
- 24gttghh 10y agoI see no difference between mAh and MPG in terms of ability to understand for most people. If we expect more of people, they can learn. If we constantly dumb things down, all we do is create a depressing economy where no one understands anything, and always has to have someone else fix their trivial problems.
- Zhenya 10y agoMiles and gallons are all measures most people have a relative understanding of. If I drive x miles I need y gallons. Easy-ish. What about amps?
- mrgoldenbrown 10y agoAre those LA miles or Wyoming miles? apple is dealing with users who see their car is rated 30MPG for highway and then complaining when they only get 10MPG in rush hour LA traffic.
- Zhenya 10y agoCars have 3 types of MPGs I can think of: -Instant -Average (over any given length of time) -EPA Rated. I've never heard someone complain they get bad mileage sitting in traffic and not understand that instant mpg != EPA mpg for specific conditions. This is why its strange that Apple removed this measure. However, I am not sure what you are arguing. For displaying the mAh or for bringing back the 'Time Left'?
