Discussion - iPhone tech could unlock 10,000 mAh batteries for Android flagships

"Invented by Apple"?

That is a absolutely hilarious rewrite of tech history. Putting mobile batteries in rigid metal shells isn't a new concept.

Decades before Apple's 2020 patent, early mobile phones in the 80s and 90s relied entirely on cells encased in steel or nickel.

Apple does what Apple always does. Rebranding old tech and patenting it, marketing as brand new. So silly. And journalists swallow it as a whole.

Apple has introduced another beneficial feature that is likely to be adopted by Android, consistent with historical trends. Unlike other initiatives, Apple’s contribution effectively provides Android with a path toward enhancing battery capacity, which is a noteworthy development.

Here is a great question. Why do you think Android manufacturers often abandon innovative features only to reintroduce them after Apple adopts them? Is it purely a matter of market validation, or is there a strategic reason for these OEMs to wait until Apple refines the technology first? It feels like we are stuck in a cycle where Android pioneers the tech, but Apple turns it into a mainstream standard before the industry fully commits.

I am not saying you are wrong, as we know this has happened in the past. But think back: the S9 had variable camera aperture, then Samsung removed it. Now Apple has its own version, and Samsung is suddenly talking about bringing it back. Then there is S-Pen support; the Z Fold lost it with the Fold 7, but now that Apple has Pencil support, there are rumors that the new Fold will bring it back. It is the same story with widgets—Google essentially abandoned them, but once Apple introduced their own version, Android's next update was suddenly all about widgets again. Do you see the pattern here?

Laughable comment.

Apple doesn't do jack .... They copy other leading manufacturers innovations and release them with a new branding. While most "journalists" are extremely loyal to Apple and swallow and repeat whatever claim Apple does. No matter how fraudulent the claim is.

Everything Huawei does - Apple does later. Like the Apple iPhone Duo. It's a copy of Huawei Pura X Max... Stylus support? Yes, in the Huawei. Apple will add it to theirs later.

Variable camera aperture? Yes, Huawei have this on all their flagships. Now Apple copies it.

Do you see the pattern?

One can argue until your blue in the face. Apple fans will cherry pick Apple firsts and/or reintroductions (some more than others) and Android fans will do the same in reverse. Any and all of these adavancments benefit all mobile device users. Let's all just rejoice anytime a manufacturer raises the technology bar as debating/refuting highly biased posts is like spitting into the wind. The Iphone 18 series looks like a great hardware product (a little buggy but hopefully Apple works these out soon). The real reason for either the Iphone or a Android phone comes down to the OS preference. However as always my disclaimer is these are just my humble opinions.

My apologies, I meant to refer to Samsung rather than Huawei. Living in the U.S., I focus primarily on the devices and features that are actually accessible to me. Huawei was banned from the U.S. and other regions for specific reasons—I won't dive into the details, but we all know why.

I compare this to mainstream companies that sell their devices worldwide.
