No. I don't buy this. The correct action would have been to overprovision the battery such that it is capable of advertised performance for the expected lifetime of the product instead of making the product 1 mm thinner.
- hvidgaard 8y agoWeight is important for a handheld device. 1mm thicker would add a significant chunk of weight. The issue wasn't as much capacity, as it was peak power draw. While somewhat related to capacity, 10-20% larger battery would not have made much of a difference. They could have crippled the performance and lowering the peak power draw, but that was what they did when it was necessary.
