Woo hoo! Finally, an iPhone with a battery capacity of at least that of my
old 2021 T-Mobile (~$180MSRP) Samsung Galaxy A32-5G which I got for free.

Maybe soon Apple will make an iPhone that can earn an A rating for once.

Funny how Apple is almost always five years behind everyone else.

Do you see a pattern there?

 Oh yes.   Arlen - of course - will not.
 

It each case except for the Moto G, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is more
EFFICIENT than the other smartphones that exceed its battery life.

Game, set, match.

 Good job.
 One might ask the question: Why is the iPhone SO EFFICIENT compared to
Android?
 Not to mention that the phones with those 6000 mAh batteries would be quite
heavy. That OnePlus 13R has battery that is 28% bigger than the iPhone and
runs for only 9% (1.5 hours) longer? That's pathetic. A genuine power hog.
What is it running on?  Intel space heaters?
 Imagine how long the iPhone 16 Pro Max would last with a 6000 mAh battery. 22
hours by my calculations.
