*iPhone 17 event scheduled for September 9*

"That would mean pre-orders on September 12, shipping on September 19."

Bear in mind, the laughably poor batteries in iPhones necessitate
tricks to lower the outrush of the precious little energy they have.

*This killer new iPhone feature extends your battery life*
<https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/iphones/this-killer-new-iphone-feature-extends-your-battery-life-but-its-only-available-on-these-models>
"One of the more underrated features of iOS 26 is the new
adaptive power mode that Apple introduces, which helps to
extend the life of an iPhone by making small performance
adjustments to extend your battery life.

Keeping in mind the laughably poor batteries in iPhones, this
new iOS 26 feature will only work on the following iPhones:
iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro Max
iPhone 16e
iPhone 16
iPhone 16 Plus
iPhone 16 Pro
iPhone 16 Pro Max

Commensurate with Apple's desperate attempts to compensate
for the laughably puny batteries in even the new iPhones...

*See How Long Your iPhone Will Take to Fully Charge*

"Instead of waiting around or checking your battery percentage
every few minutes, you can now see exactly how much time remains
until your device reaches 100%.

Given there's only one thing iOS can do that Android doesn't do,
"iOS 26 also provides charging details directly
on your Lock Screen. When your iPhone is charging from
a low battery percentage, the Lock Screen displays how
long it will take to reach at least 80% charge."

Just like Android has always done (for as long as I can remember).

They are not tricks, but good design. Surely you can't deny that extending
the lifetime of a battery is a good thing.

True. I never disagree with anyone who makes a logically sensible point.
I was just digging at the iPhone aficionados who defend Apple to the death.

It's a very important point that Apple purposefully puts undersized
batteries in the iPhone, although you'll notice they've been getting bigger lately (as has the RAM which also is typically substandard in iPhones).

When Apple stops chintzing out on battery & RAM, I'll let you all know.
But at the moment, crappy hardware is a key component of Apple strategy.

If iPhone batteries are so undersized...

...why are they always near the top in smartphone run times?
