This is 2023. And the iPhone 15 battery is about 3300 vs the Google Pixel's 4300. And it's on Black Friday Sale for 347 dollars. Why in the world is there 1000 more mAh in a midrange phone than a flagship iPhone 15. Idc if they optimize software the battery life of iPhones compared to Android is crap. Why is apple doing this? 3300 mAh in a 800 dollar phone seems crazy to me. Also the Pixel 7a and iPhone 15 are the exact same size, 6.1 inch.

  1. iPhone 15 is not flagship, the pro models each year are flagships.
  2. There is a difference in device sizes which allows larger or smaller batteries to fit inside with the other components.
  3. Apple manages battery usage better than Android, which is why bigger batteries in Android don’t always mean much when it translates into battery life.
