 The introduction of a new battery technology like this is a strong message
for Apple to stop putting the crappiest batteries they can into the iPhone.
 But time will tell how Apple works on the problem that all iPhones have the
crappiest batteries in the smartphone industry by a huge failure margin.
 Why Apple puts the worst batteries in the industry in iPhones is up for
conjecture (e.g., to shorten iPhone lifespan, for greater profits), etc.

Yada, yada, yada.
Battery capacity needs to be matched with energy USAGE.
You can tell what kind of a match you have simply by comparing the run times of various devices.
There are only 12 smartphones tested by tomsguide.com that outlast the best iPhone for battery life.

It really isn't any more complicated than that.
