and yet battery capacity keeps on increasing...
"We've made a breakthrough in battery tech" is a news story. "We've increased the battery life in our phone by 5 hours" is a news story. "We've increased our profit margins by 5% by eliminating nickel from the battery in this phone" is not a news story that gets reported, but that doesn't mean the advances in battery tech aren't being used.

- ori_b 7y agoThe stories that get reported are almost never in the product that gets shipped. It's like the endless stories about new types of transistor. Computers are faster, but our transistors are not made of diamond or nanotubes or DNA.
- OrgNet 7y ago> and yet battery capacity keeps on increasing... my phone was lasting about one-day-per-charge 10 years ago... it's about the same today
- memling 7y agoMight compare capacity?
- OrgNet 7y agoI would rather have the same phone that I had 10 years ago if it meant that it would last 7 days with today's batteries
- rohan_shah 7y agoI have a feature phone, ironically lasts about 7 days. Recently purchased.
- snovv_crash 7y agoHave you tried turning off your screen, data connection, wifi, gps, bluetooth and NFC? 7 days of battery life is easy...
- OrgNet 7y agoI haven't figured out how to use my phone with the screen off... what's the trick?
- rohan_shah 7y agoThe processor is atleast 100x more powerful. The display is 100x better. Speakers, cameras, sensors all have advanced. And yet your battery still lasts on one-charge-per-day. That must be surprising.
- OrgNet 7y agobut it is not 100x as useful...
