The fact every iPhone below the iPhone 15 fails the EU longevity test
before repairs are necessary tells you all you need to know as to why Apple
has historically used the crappiest cheapest bargain-basement batteries.

Even the iPhone 16 is rumored to *barely* squeak by in the EU longevity
test which is Apple's largest crappy battery ever to infest an iPhone.

iPhone batteries failed every test that the EU gave them for longevity.

And no, a 3% improvement in efficiency does not offset a 100% difference in
battery capacity no matter how desperate the math-challenged zealots are.

What is this "longevity test", Arlen?

Can you point me to a link?

Because an internet search for "eu battery longevity test" turns up
nothing I can see that fits.

Neither of those mentions any such test.

Looks like tom's guide could only fine 13 phones out of the hundreds if
not thousands out there that have better battery life than the best iPhone.

Android Authority thinks the iPhone 15 Pro Max comes in third overall:

And GSM Arena ranks the iPhone first...

Chris is so far to the left of Mount Stupid, that he thinks he's a genius
when he's only proving he denies what he's ignorant of but everyone else
knows all about it - since it has been in the news around the world.

These Mount Stupid religious zealots know nothing.
And deny everything.

What's no longer shocking is how far to the left of Mount Stupid these
uneducated low-IQ ignorant Apple religious fanatical zealots truly are.

They're so confident in always being so very wrong about everything!

You posted that 11 minutes ago...

....and it contains no reference to any current EU test for battery
longevity.

That's not a test that exists today.

The fact that you're citing it shows you know you have nothing.
