An iPhone 16 would not work for me and my typical use cases.

An iPhone 16 lacks fundamental hardware, and, based on the recent June 20th
2025 regulatory filings required in the EU that Apple knew about for years
and that Apple was on the committee that established the standards, Apple
iPhones literally suck at efficiency, as reported by independent agency
hired by Apple (which is the same agency almost every OEM hired out).

Fancy that fact.
Apple MARKETING has been touting an amorphous "efficiency" for years.

And yet...
It's one of the worst performing phones on efficiency in its class.

Almost every major Android OEM had multiple phones with an "A" rating.
Only Apple couldn't garner anywhere near an "A", settling for a "B".

What's hilarious is Apple spent pages and pages making excuses for why the
iPhone sucks on efficiency, even as Apple used the *same* outfit to test
their phones as everyone else and even as both that outfit and Apple have
been part of the standards committee for years - and even as Apple was well
aware of those standards for years.

Who believes Apple's lies when you know that?
HINT: Apple trolls do.

But what intelligent person believes Apples lies in this document?

Specifically why only Apple has to lie with excuse after excuse after
excuse, when nobody else needed to lie. They simply reported the result.
