Not needed & nobody wants it - even tho - everyone on Android has it!

Of course, the iPhone 17, 18, 19, etc. will have better batteries
again, so you should just wait for those.
Apple and their battery makers are working on solid state batteries,
which will be better again, but those won't make an appearance until at
least the iPhone 18 and more likely well into the iPhone 20 or later
models.
The iPhone 732 will have a 'lifetime' battery, so why not just wait for
that instead. ;-)

... in the 2-3 years. It'll be a nice stable model with any AI wrinkles sorted out by ios 20.
It's funny how the "Apple so boring" brigade don't realise that Apple knows people are on 3-4 year cycles. Gone are the days when everyone got a new phone yearly. The iphone 16 is for the 12/13 owners of today and is a
decent upgrade for them.
I got my 13 last year so won't be upgrading until 2026.
FTR my killer feature would be 6-7 days of battery life. New software features aren't a big deal these days, especially if they end up using more power.

just not yet).
That's why it'll be a killer feature.
Let's hear the predictions for which mobile phone manufacturer will be
the firtst to release an extended life battery.

You get that Apple's iPhones rank near the very top when it comes to
battery life...
...right?
You're not so stupid that you don't understand the difference between
a "battery" and a "cell"...
...right?

We were talking about phones with batteries which will last 6-7 days.
Which of these will do that?

Any phone, laptop, etc. battery can last for months ... just turn them
off! :-p (Or at least as "off" as they can go.)

Unfortunately, "Your Name" has never taken a college Physics class.
Nor Chemistry. Nor Logic.
There are two fundamental metrics for "battery life" which people confuse.
a. In-use battery life
b. Long-term battery life
Bearing in mind that the latter drastically degrades the former.
Facts to note which the proponents of Apple's crappy batteries never seem
to understand are that all the tests they tout - are on very new batteries.
None of the tests those who support Apple's crappy batteries are of
batteries that are a year or two old - which would be the mean of any phone in our hands today (give or take) assuming a four-year average life.
That means, essentially, put bluntly, all the test they tout are rubbish.
The test that matters is a test when the battery is at the half life of the phone, which, if we assume four years lifetimes, then test it at 2 years.
The crappy batteries used in iPhones will degrade sooner than batteries
twice their capacity simply because of physics - which those who tout those crappy Apple iPhone batteries don't know.
Bear in mind Apple is well aware they put crappy batteries in iPhones.
And rest assured, Apple knows that's the major determinant of overall life.

You still don't understand the difference between a "battery" and a "cell".
A device that uses one D-cell battery with power draw N will run for
just as long a device that draws 2*N.
