I’m not saying they are sitting at home most of the day Those who commute to and from work by car can charge in the car Those who work in an office can charge

I’m not saying they are sitting at home most of the day Those who commute to and from work by car can charge in the car Those who work in an office can charge at the office Those who are at school can charge at school

Their point still stands. A lot of us strive to NOT be in our cars, offices, or schools for extended periods.

  Where are those people instead? The vast majority of western society is in one of those settings most of the day Planes also have charging ports Trains have charging ports If you are at the gym you can have a MagSafe portable charger in your gym bag that charges your phone when you hit the showers Give me a few examples of who actually isn’t near a charger for 8 hours at a time A full time skier or surfer? I can’t think of the groups of people who need such long battery life

    Plugging your phone in is annoying. I want to avoid doing that as much as possible by only doing it when I go to bed.

      There are 100s of MagSafe and wireless charging options that work seamlessly It does not seem Apple cares about customers being too stubborn to not want to use any of the many options to juice up a phone mid day I guess those users can get the iPhone max and not have to charge all day. So you’ll be fine

    Aside from desiring a longer battery life, you'll likely be shocked to hear that some of us (non-iphone users) still use the Aux jack and the SD card slot too!

    Most planes and trains in Asia don't have chargers. Maybe your country does. Your country is not the norm. Places that do have chargers are swarmed by people with tiny batteries desperately trying to charge up. And those charging spots charge about 1% every 15 minutes. As someone who's been all around the world and goes places every week, I'd take a battery that lasts all day and charges when I sleep over needing to stop and try to get another 5% of charge wherever I can and constantly being on the lookout for chargers. Also, people go into nature. We take hikes and walks in the park. It's nice to have a map there. It's also not easy to charge in the middle of the forest. And there are lots of people outside and needing good batteries. Nobody is staying home 90% of the time.

So you want a thinner phone, but want to carry your charger with you everywhere? Or buy chargers and place them everywhere?

  Yes I have a charger in the car, downstairs in my house upstairs in my house in the office and have a portable anker charger if I fly or go backcountry skiing for the entire day A charger is like $50 Why would I carry around a brick in my pocket instead to save a few chargers How does that make any sense Also my iPhone 14 Pro lasts a full day 90% of my days on 1 charge I use my iPad or MacBook most of the day for work or am driving

    When you go travelling and do not want to carry around a backpack, and 1 day of heavy video recording, watching youtube on train plus 1 year of lithium battery degradation. That's when I want larger battery.
