    Is it just the word rCLdismalrCY you object to or are you dismissing the fact that Apple batteries are inferior because a B grade is better than a C or D grade?

    What objective evidence have you seen that "Apple batteries are inferior"?

    And I object to the word "dismal", because a grade of "B" on an A-G
    scale doesn't match the definition of the word.

    You agree with that factual assessment, right?

    Hi badgolferman,

    The Apple trolls think the point is that the iPhone earned a B.
    That's not the point.

    Or, the Apple trolls think they can get around the lousy score by using a different adjective for why Apple lied all these years about efficiency.

    The point is Apple lied.
    Apple said, for years, they had better efficiency.

    Yeah, sure. Better efficiency than a twenty-dollar Android perhaps.
    But almost every Android OEM had better efficiency than the iPhone.


    That's the point.
    Apple lied.

    There is no efficiency.
    I'm shocked. Shocked I say.

    How could Apple have lied to us all these years.
    That's the point.

    Apple's iPhones clearly DO have greater efficiency.

    This is evidenced by the fact that iPhones with smaller batteries have
    run times greater than other smartphones with larger batteries.

    (And Quisling, by your rules you're not allowed to point out that I've provided no support here for that claim)

    It's not lying.

    Apple CHOSE to derate their devices to a "B" rating.

    This is easily seen in that EVERY Apple device in the EU database is
    listed with an endurance time that is an even number of hours.

    <https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/smartphonestablets20231669>

    Add "Apple" as a "Brand or trademark" and see for yourself.

    19 devices listed and every single one has an endurance that ends in
    "00min".

    Since logic (you love "logic", right!) tell us that Apple would never be allowed to round the numbers UP for their products, they are clearly
    rounding them down.

    Dishonest. You, that is, for using those words dishonestly.

    I'm always stating facts, and the fact is the iPhone earned a B.
    Meanwhile, plenty of Android's earned an A.

    Those are just facts.
    Apple zealots may dislike those facts, but they're still facts.

    When you tie those facts into Apple's advertising, that's where the
    duplicity arises - where you know I dislike when marketing lies to us.

    Everyone who knows anything about the iPhone is aware that Apple has been touting an efficiency over and above that of everyone else, right?

    And yet, that efficiency doesn't exist, right?

    Certainly the iPhone not more efficient than the Android models that I had listed, all of which earned an A, although I'm sure that iPhone is more efficient than many twenty-dollar Androids are from the same OEMs.

    What word would you use to describe Apple's oft-repeated marketing claim of superior efficiency knowing that not a single iPhone could earn an A?
    --
    Note: The term twenty-dollar Androids is used because Apple religious
    zealots love to compare a $1K iPhone to that of a cheap Android.

    Also, only a fool believes Apple's excuses that the same testing company
    that everyone else used gave results that Apple didn't agree with while no other OEM felt the need to make such lame excuses about their efficiency, especially since Apple was part of the years-long process of these
    regulations, and none of it was a surprise to Apple - but note - the iPhone
    17 is rumored in the news today to actually have a modern-sized battery.
    Fancy that. Apple can improve when regulations prove their batteries suck.
