I hope to realize that the rants about iPhone battery capacity versus Android actually does not prove anything except the iPhone has a slightly smaller battery.
 Example - the OnePlus 12R ran 18:42 (18.7 hours) in a recent 2024 test on a 5500 mAh battery. In this same test the iPhone 15 Plus ran 14:14 (14.2 hours) on a reported 4383 mAh battery. 76% ratio on hours and 79% ratio on battery capacity, very small difference. As for the Nothing Phone 2 you like to mention it essentially tied the iPhone 15 Plus on battery capacity and run time.
 This is consistent with my extensive experience on both platforms. Battery life on both will get you through a typical day, and 2 days with light use. This is a good thing, no matter which platform you prefer. Increased battery life has also made obsolete the need for battery swaps that I liked as an option a few years ago.

It's hard to know whether he's ignorant, or just lies and believes no one can see through his bullshit.
Point out that iPhones last as long as other smartphones, and he'll pivot to claiming that a smaller battery must wear out sooner...
...never appearing to realize that if two phones have the same run time, then they experience the same number of power cycles in any given period.
