Overall, Samsung models, based on EPREL data, have a 10 hour advantage.
That's a whopping ~16% higher average battery endurance per cycle.

Where is the fabled endurance that Apple marketing so highly touted?
Could it possibly be that Apple marketing cherry picked the results?

 Oh look. Arlen is cherry picking the results. AGAIN. Those numbers include
tablets. Filter on phones only, and you get a much different story.
 Samsung has 13 phones, 539.91 total hours = 41:32 average.  Apple has 7
phones, 290 total hours = 41:26 average.  Basically identical. 6 minutes
difference.
 BUT, Apple is doing this on SMALLER BATTERIES than Samsung. Which means
iPhones are lighter, more portable and MORE EFFICIENT.
 Why ARE Android phones such power sucking junk?  Are they running Intel space
heaters and using fans to keep cool?
 If the iPhone 16 Pro Max had a 6000 mAh battery, it would run for more than 22
hours.  3 to 4 hours longer than any Android phone with a 6000 mAh battery.
For these facts, see the thread "iPhone 17 Pro Max Battery Capacity Leaked".
Which Arlen started and then abandoned because the facts got in the way of his
absurd-claim-of-the-day.
