Hoping the 15 Pro will be great for battery. Seems like 12 and 14 took steps back in battery, 13 was great and hopefully 15 will be as well.

That’s still less than what you can get from the Samsung Galaxy lineup. This is really just another catch-up story by Apple. But of course, it is always spun as some genius innovation that Apple invented just now…
IMO majority of iPhone users couldn’t care less about any Android phone performance. It’s all about year after year iPhone vs IPhone specs.
I mean you’re right, but for those of us who are happily within the iOS ecosystem and have no intention of even considering changing, it’s good to get some progress on this front. My alternative isn’t to move to a Samsung, it’s to make do with whatever battery is in the latest iPhone Pro model and hope for bigger gains in future releases.
I don’t think anyone is spinning a bigger battery as genius innovation by Apple, but a bigger battery is nice to have. I wouldn’t even say this is Apple catching up though, battery life comparisons between the 14 Pro Max and S23 Ultra have been favorable to the iPhone and that’s with the Samsung having a 16% bigger battery.
Plus it’s a good thing to have companies competing with each other. I’m glad Samsung is putting bigger batteries in their phones if it gets Apple to continue improving battery life.
Yea “battery life” is the intersection of energy consumption and energy storage. Focusing purely on the spec sheet (the size of the battery) makes a very incomplete (and frequently biased) comparison.
I have used android phones going back to a galaxy s3, and recently bought an Apple phone. My brother, the battery life on these fucking things is different. The capacity matters but the optimization that Apple is using more than washes it out.
2-3 days without charging is a reality with my 13pro. It’s not catch up. The iPhone was an experimental purchase for me. There are things I don’t love about iOS, but I probably can’t go back to android battery life.
Even if it’s still less than android phones, you still charge them all daily. It’s a question of efficiency really.
