Having a too small battery is the exact definition of planned obsolescence!
If they hadn't tried to make the phones as small as possible and used a battery with 20% more capacity the problems would not be as severe.
- hk__2 9y ago> Having a too small battery is the exact definition of planned obsolescence! That’s not true. Having a too-small battery on purpose is planned obsolescence. Having a small battery (what does "too small" means? Compared to what?) has nothing to do with that. That’s the purpose of "planned" in "planned obsolescence".
- yoodenvranx 9y ago> what does "too small" means If a battery has not enough capacity to carry the phone trough a whole day after 1-2 years of use then it was too small to begin with. I have the feeling that iPhone batteries are just large enough that the phones survives a day of medium use if the phone is brand new. After 1 or 2 years the battery is so bad that it barely holds enough charge for a few hours of usage.

After 1 or 2 years the battery is so bad that it barely holds enough charge for a few hours of usage. That’s just a feeling. I’ve had my iPhone for 3 years now and the battery is completely fine.
