Apple shrinks battery size even more for smallest iPhone ever

[The_Lillard_King]

You sure do like the fact that old rich people who want a phone that works better with their new BMW because of a specific app choose the Iphone. You got me there.

I would drop my Note3 in a heartbeat for any brand phone if it were better. There just isn't one right now.

Iphone fanboys wouldn't even look at another phone.

The article you linked made me laugh when he mentioned wired and bluetooth in the car. I have a cheap pioneer stereo in my car with a mic and play slacker over bluetooth and talk on the phone hands free. Why would I care about wires?

That's all you read out of that article huh . . . I guess all your article with some dork holding up a 2 phones says "Galaxy better because bigger"

Here is another article:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/...ill-beats-samsung/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

I’ve been using the new Samsung for about three weeks, and while I do think it is the best Android phone you can buy, it sure isn’t the best phone on the market. By just about every major measure you’ll care about, from speed to design to ease of use to the quality of its apps, Samsung’s phone ranks behind the iPhone, sometimes far behind. If you’re looking for the best phone on the market right now, I’d recommend going with the iPhone 5S.


And I'm sure you can match me with an article saying galaxy is the best phone on the market.


I don't even know what a Note3 is, the debate out there among phones seems to be Galaxy S5 vs. iPhone 5s.

Got tons more links voting for the iPhone from all different demographics you can laugh at if your want them . . .

(FWIW- love my iPhone with my BMW, is that a decent reason for me someone to pick an iPhone?)

iPhone's are easily the best size for a cell phone.

Getting something bigger is just stupid and it keeps me from going to a different phone. I don't want or need a phone the size of a scientific calculator. It's just not practical.

Not true. I have had a HTC one for the past 15 or so months ans my wife has an iPhone 5s. The screen on the HTC one is leaps and bounds better. I hate web browsing on her phone, it's terrible.

"Your opinion is not true, because I have an opinion!"

Jesus, people!

People that should own, or admit to owning, an iphone:

1) Teenage girls

The end.

I forgot to mention

Apple products really are so gimmicky. But hey, their marketing works and they're killin' it for now.

lol . . . I didn't know phones bring out so much emotion out of people.

I thought I was really into phones as I am waiting for the newest version to come out, but after this thread I think I am not as into phones as I originally thought I was.

The posts and articles I read because of this thread has opened my eyes to what a battle this is. Labeling people, insisting which phone is better . . . just weird to me.

I would almost get one of each to have the best of both worlds, but doesn't make sense with a phone. I think my next tablet will be a samsung so I can see what this is all about.

Battery life is more important than battery size.

that said I've had a Galaxy for the last 1.5 years of my contract. Have had it replaced twice. And has easily been my worst experience with cell phones. Smart or not.

I listen to a lot of Podcasts, which is ∞ better on IOS. So thats probably where I'll be going next.
I've had Android phones/tablets most of the time, and love how less locked down there are. Then I realized I use 10% of the features at most, that arent locked down.

So I guess I'll be going with Iphone when contract is finally up. Even if ease of use is "Gimmicky"

Its all about how you use it!

Anyone wonder if apple got these battery designs from Tesla's release of patents?

Seems unlikely.

1) Tesla just released the patents a few weeks ago; the phone has probably been in development for months.
2) Tesla's battery pack weighs hundreds of pounds, it probably won't fit in the iPhone

It might:

The next-generation 5.5-inch smartphone from Apple, which may already be delayed due to issues with the in-cell touch display panel, will now house a battery with a thickness of only 2 millimeters versus the current iPhone 5 battery size of 3 millimeters

A battery that is 2MM thick, that is crazy

Reminds me of the convos I used to have with PC users back in the late 80's and early 90's.
