    It's basic physics, which I'm sure iKooks don't understand but will deny.
    And yet, it's a fact.

    The smaller the battery capacity, the sooner it ages below minimum.
    Apple puts in smaller batteries which always age sooner than larger ones.

    And the load put on the battery doesn't matter?

    How are you defining "minimum"?

    Arlen just used bad physics. He's comparing a car's range by only looking
    at the size of tank and ignoring its fuel efficiency.

    A car with a 10 gallon tank and 30 mpg will need to refuel more often than
    one with an 8 gallon tank and 40 mpg.

    Chris,

    How could you possibly deny that batteries age consistently?
    And that they age below a working threshold over time?
    And that a smaller capacity battery reaches that threshold sooner?

    Do you really believe your own claim Apple has "special" chemistry?
    *The smaller battery will always chemically age sooner below threshold.*

    A car with a 10 gallon tank and 30 mpg will need to refuel more often than one with an 8 gallon tank and 40 mpg.

    You're the one who lied about having a PhD in the sciences, and yet you
    didn't know a single thing about basic chemistry, physics, or calculus.

    Unlike you with a fabricated science degree, every scientist and engineer
    is well acquainted with basic redox potential chemistry.

    What you don't seem to even begin to comprehend is that Apple's (admittedly bogus) _daily_ battery life claims are not what we're talking about here.

    What we're discussing, in terms of replacing batteries, is:
    *The smaller battery will always chemically age sooner below threshold.*

    He doesn't. He never does...

    What you iKooks seem to believe only in are Apple's advertisements.

    Those advertisements are about (admittedly bogus) battery life claims for
    daily use - but Apple doesn't advertise battery aging for its puny
    batteries.

    What you're also ignorant of is those cheap iPhone batteries are laughably
    puny compared to the huge batteries on most modern Android phones today.

    What you only know is Apple advertising that they're "more efficient" in
    daily use, which is bogus but it doesn't even matter for this topic.

    What matters is you need to comprehend two things:
    a. Battery daily life on a single charge (measured in hours)
    b. Battery overall life of a single battery (measured in years)

    They're different.
    a. One is most greatly affected by charge capacity & current draw.
    b. The other is affected by design capacity & chemical aging processes.

    You iKooks can't seem to comprehend these are DIFFERENT things:
    a. How many hours a battery lasts on a charge, versus
    b. How many years a battery lasts before aging below threshold.

    It's physics. It's chemistry. It's engineering. It's science.
    All stuff none of you uneducated low-IQ iKooks will ever understand.

    Put simply...
    *The smaller battery will always chemically age sooner below threshold.*

    Especially when that smaller battery is as laughably puny as those cheap
    pieces of utter crap batteries that Apple puts in all the latest iPhones.

    Hi Chris,

    Are you aware that _no_ iOS version other than the latest (which is only
    iOS 16) is fully patched with all the bugs that Apple knows about & fixed?

    Not iOS 15.

    iOS 16.

    Only.

    Bear in mind that not a single iKook is aware of this fact.
    Even as Apple has published this fact.

    It's no longer shocking how fantastically ignorant the iKooks are.
    Not a single one of the iKooks knows anything about what Apple does.

    This is why I must ask you that yes-or-no question.

    Q: *Are you aware only iOS 16 gets all the known software fixes?*
    A: ?
