I was just digging at the iPhone aficionados who defend Apple to the death.
It's a very important point that Apple purposefully puts undersized
batteries in the iPhone, although you'll notice they've been getting bigger lately (as has the RAM which also is typically substandard in iPhones).
When Apple stops chintzing out on battery & RAM, I'll let you all know.
But at the moment, crappy hardware is a key component of Apple strategy.
