 Since we strive to *understand* Apple products, it behooves us to
understand what the facts are on the dismal Apple battery capacity.
 For such an expensive phone, the iPhone 16e battery capacity is pathetic
"iPhone 16e has a battery capacity of 3961 mAh"

 Yet, the iPhone 15 has an even more pathetic battery capacity of 3,349 mAh.
iPhone 15: 3,349 mAh iPhone 15 Plus: 4,383 mAh iPhone 15 Pro: 3,274 mAh
iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,422 mAh
 No wonder Apple is no longer allowed to sell any phone older than the
iPhone 15 in the EU after this summer due to the pitiful number of lifetime
charge cycles before the battery drops below 80% (which Apple must certify
to sell in the EU).
 As feeble as the iPhone 16 e battery capacity is, at least the iPhone 16e
battery has a 118% bigger capacity than the lame iPhone 15 battery had.
 Note: My free $200 MSRP Galaxy A32-5G from 2021 has a 5 Amp Hour battery.

Which is utterly irrelevant.
Available energy storage must be compared to power usage.
Anyone of at least average intelligence understands this.
It doesn't matter if my "bimmer" has a larger gas tank that my friend's Honda Civic...
...if the power usage of his engine allows him to travel further.
