If Apple announced the next iPhone and it had a battery that lasted twice as long as the current one I think a lot of people would be happy. I've noticed I get about 1.5 days now with my iPhone 6 and not having to worry if I forget to charge it at night is great. If it could get me to the end of the next day it would be perfect. It seems that every year phone manufacturers make battery improvements but these are offset by the new sensors and screens. If they skipped everything except battery for one generation, doubled it, and then went back to features would they be able to continue adding features at the previous rate while maintaining the new battery life?

But what if you forget to charge it at the end of the second day? Maybe what you need isn't a better battery but something that reminds you to charge your phone at night?

  The point is more - "I can't get to a charger tonight but I don't need to worry as it'll last until tomorrow night." Charging each night isn't an inconvenience for most people and they would probably continue doing that (nobody waits until 0% to charge) but it provides extra breathing room on the occasions it's just not possible for you to charge.
