It had to have been the apps that were running on Android. It's nothing to do with the hardware. I used to have my pixels, back from 2012, regularly at less than 10%, and would still last overnight as you describe. If a pixel not running any crap apps was worse, it was only be a negligible amount.
The gap was never that big, it was more the software that was running than any hardware issues.
- yamtaddle 4y ago> The gap was never that big No, it really was. I wasn't hallucinating stock Android tablets dying over long weekends while iOS tablets would still be usable for testing without needing to plug in, after three weeks in a drawer. Or the phones needing a daily charge if you barely used them, while Apple phones could go 3-4 days under light use. There were no exceptions to this in Android land. [EDIT] Incidentally, yes, I agree it was largely a software issue—but at the OS level.
- Zurrrrr 4y agoI don't know what to tell you, but your experience is very different from mine and most androids users (who knew what they were doing). Disable all the software crap and there was no real difference. You think it was more internal to the OS, and maybe part of it was, but even with just ending all the crap that fixed things. We agree there were no significant differences in hardware though, and that was my point.
