My claim is "most" modern phones have at least a 4-1/2 hour battery nowadays
(and as a result, a phone that does not is downright primitive in terms of
modern battery technology - and yes - packaging is a technology component).

I just ran this search where they only allow even numbers so I set the
search to 4.4Ah (instead of to 4.5Ah) & allowed all phones in 2021 & 2022.
<https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2021&nBatCapacityMin=4400>

That shows 485 phones since 2021 with battery capacity of 4.4Ah or greater.

People who claim Apple iPhones aren't primitive - feel free to run the
search (and feel free to run a _different_ search because almost any search
you run will prove that iPhones are a primitive technology in 2021/2022).

At least in terms of battery technology (which certainly includes the form
factor, especially as Apple widely touts their BS battery form factors).

Wow. That's interesting. Not a _single_ Apple iPhone in those results.
Now I know why the Apple people don't like this fact about Apple iPhones.

I don't care iKooks are child-like with a low-IQ, no education & low self

Your focus started on battery life — 4.5 hours.

Then you moved goalposts to try to make Apple look bad. Curious.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Ummmm.... ...no.

Your claim WAS that "most" phones (not "modern" phones) had a 5 amp-hour
batter (or implicitly, better than that).

And that claim was completely wrong.

So you change your claim... ...and?

Again: people don't give a DAMN what number of amp-hours their battery has.

They care how long their phone will run.

And yet, when you look at how long phones can actually run before
needing to recharged, the picture is quite different.

I noticed that too, but I think that he just forgot to put in "Amp-"
before "hours," or he may not understand how batteries are rated for
capacity (though the more common error is to use "Amps" without hours).

And of course this assumes single-cell batteries. Some flagship phones
are now using two-cell batteries so then you really want to use WH if
the cells are discharged in series (Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra). The advantage
is being able to charge the phone faster since the batteries are charged
in parallel (it can charge at 120W and fully charge in 21 minutes).
There are also some other advantages of doing DC-DC conversion from 7.4V
instead of from 3.7V.

Actually it's the Xiaomi 11T Pro, my mistake.

Thank you Steve for pointing this out as I don't see any posts but yours.
(The only people I have in my killfiles are Snit, Alan Baker, Rod Speed,
Dustin Cook, et. al, so _you_ are not in my killfile & you never will be).

Since my graduate work is also in electrical engineering (it's far more
complicated than that but that's good enough for this purpose) much like
your undergraduate EE degree, rest assured it was simply a typo (I didn't
even look back as I _was_ talking only about battery Amp-hour ratings).

Battery-life tests are a completely different component (in many ways).

For example, given Apple touts their battery form factors, and given we are
all well aware Apple cheaped out on battery materials in the iPhone 12, and
given it appears Apple doesn't have a single modern-sized battery yet in any
iPhone, what would be interesting is to find out if Apple makes even a
_single_ iPhone that has a 4-1/2 Amp-hour rated battery in _any_ iPhone.

Even so, I will agree ahead of time that the Amp-hour rating isn't as
important as how long the battery lasts in typical use but we all have to
realize that it's a fact nobody on the planet has ever independently
replicated Apple's overly inflated battery life tests in any known report.

My overall assessment is that it's so yesterday to need to charge a phone
overnight anymore, what with the ubiquity of fast chargers & huge batteries.

Other than the independent tests I've already cited, you mean.

We may as well remove the Apple newsgroups as this thread is about the sheer
joy of owning a _modern_ phone (which all have huge batteries nowadays).

My fault.
I hadn't realized primitive iPhones don't have modern battery technology.

Searching only modern 2022 phones show _zero_ iPhones in those results.
<https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2022&nBatCapacityMin=4400>

That shows 99 modern phones with huge batteries, literally _zero_ of which
are the primitive iPhones that _still_ ship with archaic battery technology.

Below are the first 70 in that list of almost 100 modern phones which
nowadays have _huge_ batteries (and many come with fast chargers too).

You posted much of the same the other day. Funny how you’ve dropped the
whole concept of battery of life. That’s what matters. How long you can go
before having to recharge. Oy.

I have _both_ iOS and Android devices, which is different from you iKooks,
particularly the IQ 40 morons like Snit who make those hilarious videos.

All of you iKooks suffer from the confluence of three factors:
a. Your self esteem is in the toilet (rightly so)
b. And your IQ is too low for you to comprehend what adults can
c. Worse - none of you have _any_ education to speak of

That's _why_ you're iKooks.
1. You believed every lie Apple told you
2. To the point that facts can't fit into your child-like brains

*The sad fact is the iPhone is _primitive_ in terms of battery technology.*

Almost all (if not all) _modern_ phones come with huge batteries nowadays.
<https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2022&nBatCapacityMin=4400>

I post the truth to the Apple newsgroups, which, in this case, is the fact
that the primitive iPhone uses archaic battery technology.

Personally, I _love_ my free modern (2021) Android 5G phones with their
_huge_ batteries, especially given my half-price iPhone 11 mini sucks.

Apple put cheap battery technology in my half-price iPhone 11 mini, not only
in the laughably puny form factor but Apple used cheap battery components
(which was widely reported so only the iKooks are ignorant of those facts).
<https://i.postimg.cc/YC1B906F/tmopromo01.jpg> A32-5G & iPhone 12 contract

The battery life of my free Samsung phones outlasts that laughably paltry
iPhone every single day (were the only phone on the charger is the iPhone).

If the ikooks tormented me as much as they torment you, I would
throw that damn iphones away! And get the hell out of here, as well.

After all, you're a super intelligent, highly educated adult, right?

Funny how my videos still piss you off. Your precious Android was shown to
not be the best in all areas.

And now you’ve get to figure out that you’re still focused on battery
capacity and not battery life. Damn, you are being slow.

Fact is, the iKooks don't torment me any more than the DK bank robber did.
These low-IQ low-self-esteem no-education iKooks actually _interest_ me.

Just like the strange lemon-juice bank robber interested Dunning & Kruger.

I've never met, in the flesh, people as incredibly ignorant as they are.
Essentially they garner _all_ their self esteem from what Apple feeds them.

Pray tell... do tell me more about you, "Hank Rogers".
*What is your education for example?*

You interest me in so much as I've never met people like you in the flesh.

BTW, the only iKooks I filter are the dumbest ones.
Those with an IQ below 50 such as Snit & Alan Baker & Rod Speed & Dustin.

Nothing can be learned from them.
But I keep the iKooks unfiltered who have _double_ their IQ's.

For example, nospam & Chris & Alan Browne have an IQ around 80.
One out of every hundred of their posts actually contain _adult_ value.

For _this_ thread, the point is that Apple fucked you on your battery tech.
Not a single iPhone contains modern battery technology (as in 2022).

That's why you are tethered to your overnight charging cycles.
The rest of us, with _modern_ battery technology, aren't.

In 2022, _all_ modern smartphones come with _huge_ batteries.
Gone are the primitive use models of charging the phone every night.
And gone are the archaic overnight waiting times to recharge the phone.

All _modern_ smartphones replenish from 0 to 100% in about 2-1/2 hours.

I don't care iKooks are child-like with a low-IQ, no education & low self
esteem; but due to that, they're so DK confident in always being dead wrong.

Hi there Chris,

You _wish_ I stopped telling the truth about Apple.
In fact, you _hate_ me _because_ I tell the truth about Apple.

As the truth, to people who own imaginary belief systems, is dangerous.
Apple: Santa Claus exists
Truth: No kids, he doesn't

The fact remains that _all_ the modern phones have huge batteries nowadays
which negate the archaic need to charge nightly (which iPhones require).

All consumer electronics (except highly marketed devices) just gets
a. better
b. faster
c. cheaper

In fact, I am currently testing my _fast_ charger with my _free_ 64GB 5G
phone for example, where I expect a 0 to full charge in about 2-1/2 hours.

Given Apple doesn't even _ship_ a fast charger in the box anymore,
all the primitive (but highly marketed) iPhone does over time is get
a. worse
b. slower
c. more expensive

Yet Apple profit margins continue to be the envy of the industry.

Do you know why?
I do.

HINT: You can't make those ungodly profits off of an intelligent customer.

DOUBLE HINT: Apple R&D is the _lowest_ (bar none) in all of high tech.
TRIPLE HINT:

Nor can Apple even _integrate_ a modem they bought whole from Qualcomm.
Apple can't even design their own CPUs (they use ARM technology instead).

All Apple _can_ do is scream out in ads "TSMC SILICON!!!!!!!!!!!" (woo hoo).

You're completely focused on capacity where the user only really cares
about time. Which in actual fact has gone backwards over the last 20
years. Mobile phones used to last for days and weeks with tiny capacity
batteries.

Nowadays phones have massively battery capacity but only mediocre time
usability. Even your so-called "modern" ones. I would love to only need
to charge my phone once a week as I did with my first mobiles.

Hi Chris,

What all you low-IQ low-self-esteem uneducated iKooks hate are the facts.

Here's a truthful result which you can't hope to match with your primitive
archaic iPhones that never have modern battery technology (and it shows).
<https://i.postimg.cc/W1D9dNqw/charging11.jpg> modern charge = 2 hours

My _free_ phone has a huge battery, and as a direct result:
a. It lasts forever
b. It doesn't need nightly charging
c. It charges completely in about two hours

The iPhone, in contrast:
a. Barely lasts a day
b. Requires nightly charge cycles
c. Doesn't even come with a charger, let alone a fast charger

I'm focused on the fact you're stuck with archaic nightly charge cycles.

While my iPhone is stuck on the bedstand, my Android charges in two hours!

The time I really notice the battery issue is when I'm traveling outside
the U.S., walking around, taking buses and subways, and being gone from
the hotel all day. I'm typically using apps like Moovit, All Trails, and
other mapping apps. A 12-16 hour day of that is too much for most
phones, including ones with our favorite troll's "massive batteries" so
I take along a back-up battery pack. In the olden days I'd just take
along a spare battery for the phone.

The fact remains that the iPhone uses outdated archaic battery technology.
In 2022, *all modern phones now come with huge batteries* which inherently
allow for long life, both in terms of daily use, and in terms of lifetime.

By way of stark comparison, the iPhone is downright archaically primitive.
In addition, many modern phones now come with free modern fast chargers.

As a fact which will make you iKooks cry in shame, my _free_ phone (which
has far more app functionality than the most expensive iPhone ever sold),
charged today from to full in under two hours (a test I promised yesterday).

And yet, the iPhone is _always_ needing to be recharged every damn night.
It's yet another proof of how archaically primitive iPhone technology is.

*The point of this thread is to show how _primitive_ iPhone technology is.*
And you agreed with that point by what you say is your primitive use model.

The fact is I too used the primitive archaic stone-age methods you did, JR.
But no more.

I _love_ my phone with the huge battery and the fast charger, Jolly Roger.
I'm not stuck in the Stone Age of battery technology like all iPhones are.

*All modern smartphones come with huge batteries & many with fast chargers*.

The instant I had a _modern_ phone with a _huge_ battery and a free fast
charger that came in the box, I realized what a boon it is to be set free.

Gone are those stone-age days where you have to do what _you_ have to do.
The rest of us have a phone that lasts for days & charges almost instantly.

Interesting you've moved the goalposts...

...and you're still wrong.

'Fast-charge capable: Up to 50% charge in 30 minutes11 with 20W adapter
or higher (available separately)'

<https://www.apple.com/ca/iphone-13/specs/>

'Does Your iPhone Support Fast Charging?

iPhones have long supported faster charging with a 12W iPad adapter and
Apple improved on that rate by introducing fast charging via USB Power
Delivery (PD) with the release of the iPhone 8 in 2017. With PD, most
newer iPhones can charge at up to 22W, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max
reportedly supports up to 27W wired charging.'

<https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-fast-iphone-chargers>

'With a 20-watt brick and Lightning to USB-C cable, you can go from zero
to 50% charged in half an hour, and fully charge an iPhone 13 in about
two hours.'

"Many"?

Is that as accurate as your "most" about 5 amp-hour batteries in phones?

Because you now define "modern smartphones" as "comes with huge
batteries"...

...without regard for whether or not that means actual long run times.

And for the record, more than a third of all phones listed at GSMArena
from the year 2020 on have batteries 4400 milliamp-hours or smaller.

<https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?nYearMin=2020&nBatCapacityMax=4400&sAvailabilities=1>

That's 521 out of 1250.

The phones of 20 years ago didn't do a lot. The phones of today are
much faster, much brighter, higher-res/sized display, and are expected
to do a lot more (even if most people only use tham as glorified
two-way pagers) ... all of that means needing more power from a battery
that is about the same physical size.

Similarly, they make electric cars, but then keeping adding more and
more gimmickry and laws for daytime running lights that simply uses up
the battery power quicker. :-\

In most ways, battery tech has barely changed since the days of the
ancient Greeks. It's no surprise that more powerful modern devices have
batteries that don't last as long as old devices did.

If you really want a longer lasting phone, there are battery phone
cases which can double (or more) the usage time, at the expense of
making the phone a little bulkier and heavier.

my first mobile was analog and needed two batteries for a single day.

digital phones had *much* better battery life, but didn't do anywhere
near what modern phones do.

however, if battery life is what you want, there are still flip phones
and candy bar phones available.

and then there was this:

Hi nospam,

Why do _you_ think that all iPhones come with grossly substandard battery &

I have plenty of fast chargers, both QC and PD. but that's immaterial
when you're away from mains power for the whole day.

Last time I ran into this was pre-pandemic, in 2019, in Europe and Asia.
In two cities I was away from the hotel from early morning to late at
night and I was using the phone a lot for navigation and web browsing
and needed to charge during the day.

Fortunately, most airplanes now have power outlets, USB, AC, or both,
even in coach.

Even a 1A/5W charger is enough to charge a phone overnight.

I don't hate Apple as I probably buy more Apple devices than you do.

You low-IQ low-self-esteem uneducated iKooks interest me much as a lowly ant
under a magnifying glass interests some people who tower over them.

What you _hate_ is when I bring the magnifying glass to the facts.
You _hate_ all facts about Apple.

It's no different than if you still believe in Santa Claus.
Hence, you'd _hate_ all facts that prove Santa is a marketing gimmick.

It's the same with you low-IQ no-education low-esteem iKooks Hemidactylus.

I study you low-IQ low-self-esteem no-education iKooks Hemidactylus.
Just as Dunning & Kruger studied the low-IQ lemon-juice bank robber.

Having been educated at the finest schools in the country, I have never met,
personally and in the flesh, people of such low IQ as you iKooks clearly
are.

Not a single one of you iKooks has so much as an undergraduate education.
Most of you didn't even graduate from high school, Hemidactylus.

And yet, you uneducated iKooks thrive on Usenet.
Do you know why?

I do.

Hence that's why I asked nospam the logical question any person would ask:

*Why do _you_ think that all iPhones come with grossly*
*substandard archaic battery & laughable charging technology?*

What did Apple Stores do with non Apple fast chargers just months

He seems like a nice fella, and I've asked him a few questions too,

I guess he's real smart and has lots of degrees, and books, but he

Well, check with your mom or pop if you don't know for sure.

While we're on the subject, do you ever feel that your mom or dad
could be iKooks, or could have low IQs? Did they ever make you feel
inferior when you were young? Do you hate either of them?

You don't have any children or wife, right Harry?

It's all about three things with all you iKooks:
a. Abysmally Low IQ
b. Horribly Low Self Esteem
c. Absolutely No Education

*Those three things are _why_ you're iKooks.*

It's not my fault that all you iKooks have absolutely no education, is it?
You blame me for your IQ being clearly abysmally low too, but why?
Why is it that _your_ lack of self esteem is, all of a sudden, my problem?

All you iKooks personalize the fact that the messenger is telling you that
Santa Claus doesn't exist; but you're _desperate_ to believe that he does.

You iKooks don't own the adult cognitive skills to realize that the iPhone
is, by all accounts, mired in the stone age of battery & charger technology.

*A simple example is all modern smartphones now come with _huge_ batteries*.
Many come with fast chargers that charge the phone in a couple of hours.

Gone are the Stone-Age days of charging a phone each & every night.
Unless you own the laughably primitive iPhone, of course.

Then you're stuck with a dead battery & horrendously long charge times.
Even worse, the phone battery "ages" beyond use well before it should.

Yes you have. You responded to it yourself.
Look back at badgolferman's thread to which _you_ responded.

Despite your kindergarten attempt to soil the messenger, the sad fact
remains all iPhones are designed with laughably antiquated battery & charger
technology.

All you iKooks have the brain of a kindergarten child.
It's _why_ you're iKooks.

You still believe in Santa Claus even though that's a MARKETING gimmick.
In fact, you fall for _every_ silly marketing gimmick in the book.

You don't even know why.
But I do.

a. Your IQ is no higher than about 40
b. You have no education whatsoever
c. And your self esteem is fed to you by (brilliant) Apple gimmicks

The fact remains all iPhones are antiquated battery & charger technology.

Again, you fail to comprehend what all adults comprehend.
You _hate_ me because I told you Santa Claus doesn't exist.

You _hate_ that facts ruin your purely imaginary belief system.
What's interesting is I understand you.

But you're of far too low of an IQ to understand yourself.

Even so, the fact remains that the iPhone is mired in archaic battery &
charger technology that all modern phones have recently eschewed.

> You don't have any children or wife, right Harry?

My grandchildren have more capacity to carry on a conversation than you do.

Even so, the fact remains every modern phone today has a huge battery.
You just hate that the iPhone is stuck in the stone age of smartphones.

How long does it take to charge your phone from completely dead to
completely full using the charger that came free with the phone?

All modern phones nowadays have huge batteries and mine is no exception.
I ran a test last night and mine took 2-1/4 hours to go from 0 to 100%
<https://i.postimg.cc/zGvhGxSb/charging13.jpg>

Specs:
Free 64 GB 8-core Samsung Galaxy A32-5G with a modern 5 Ah battery
Free 9.0V at 1.67A & 5.0V at 2.0A modern fast charger in the box
Phone purposefully run all day & night with LED flashlight on
until phone shut down indicating 1% battery.

Booted phone at 6:33AM and put on the charger & at 8:45AM today.
The phone said "*Your battery is half charged*" just one hour later.
Another hour & fifteen minutes the phone spoke out that it was full
"*Your battery is now at 100% charge*"

How long does it take _you_ to charge your phone from dead to full?

Most phones often ship (or in Apple and Samsung's case shipped) with a
relatively cheap charger, but you can get a more powerful one that
charges quicker.

For those who whine about charging times ...

"On April 3, 1973, Motorola engineer Martin Cooper made
the first-ever cell phone call on the DynaTAC 8000X.
The prototype he used weighed 2.4 lb (1.1 kg) and
measured 9.1 x 5.1 x 1.8 in (23 x 13 x 4.5 cm). This
clunky device offered a talk time of just 30 minutes
and required 10 hours to recharge."
<https://versus.com/en/news/cell-phone-history>

10 hours for only 30mins use ... that makes the complaints about 2.25
hours charging times pale into near insignificance. :-)

of time before the Apple logo was shown on the screen, after 1 minute
and 40 seconds, indicating the phone had enough power to turn on."

For full disclosure, that chargers costs $18USD.

The folks on the c.s.r.p group may not be familiar with the iKooks, where
all the iKooks have the _same_ response in _any_ topic that purports to

In this case, it's FM radio - where they claim that it exists in another
form, and that nobody wants it anyway, and that most phones don't have it,
etc., all of which are always wrong since most phones _do_ have it.

Just not iPhones.

We call fall into the trap of discussing each of the lame excuses that the
iKooks come up with to defend the lack of basic functionality in the iPhone.

But the fact would remain that Apple's strategy is to slowly remove basic
functionality from the iPhone so that you tend to buy it back.

That's the only reason their beloved iPhone lacks the basic functionality
that is and always has been in _most_ phones every built & out there today.
a. Common sdcard slots for _portable_ memory
b. Industry standard 3.5mm jacks for general use
c. FM radios for emergency & specific needs
d. License-free cables such as industry standard USB-C cables
e. Fast chargers (or at least slow chargers) provided gratis, in the box
etc.

You haven't figured out yet that with the iKooks, their only goal is to
defend Apple at all costs, to the death, no matter what - and every time.

Hence it doesn't really matter what excuse nospam fabricates for why the
iPhone lacks the basic functionality of the FM radio that most phones have.

These iKooks (Lewis, nospam, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, et. al), only have a
half dozen responses to _everything_ about Apple that they themselves hate.

It doesn't matter _what_ the missing functionality is, as the conversation
will be the same no matter what, as what has never changed is Apple strategy
of slowly removing basic functionality so that you tend to buy it back.

Any conversation about basic functionality missing from the iPhone
always proceeds using most if not all of these tired old iKook tricks...

1. Normally they brazenly _fabricate_ a claim that the functionality exists.
(Of course, they _never_ come up with the facts since it's imaginary.)

2. They almost always claim nobody wants or needs the missing functionality.
(Which you're seeing them do here which is their _next_ excuse.)

3. They'll then claim that almost no phones have that basic functionality.
(Which, again, they did here and they're _always_ wrong on that too!)

4. Then they'll claim that there's no demand for that basic functionality.
(They did that here - but the fact most phones have it belies that).

5. This goes on for a long time where finally they get exasperated and
they start to say they know of the functionality but they won't tell you.

6. The adult response always is to ask them to name it, which they never
can, but often what they do is name something completely different.

7. If you can focus them back on the facts that they're _desperate_ to
derail they will extol the virtues of their presumed replacement.

8. If you continue to focus them on the fact their beloved product line
is missing the basic functionality, they will call you a troll & worse.

9. It will culminate in myriad kindergarten name calling episodes as you
clearly saw here, simply because they have no _adult_ response to facts.

10. Vastly shortened, this is essentially a conversation with these iKooks:

iKook: Santa is great! He's gonna give me a new iPhone for Christmas!
Adult: No son. That's just a marketing gimmick. Your parents are Santa.

iKook: No. You're wrong. He exists. I saw him on an Apple advertisement.
Adult: That's how marketing works, son. Apple wants you to think that.

Adult: The facts are Santa can't do that magical stuff you believe in.
iKook: Liar! Liar! Pants on fire! I hate you. Trollboi! You're wrong!

What you're running into is the iKooks own an imaginary belief system that
intimates their beloved product line has the basic functionality it lacks.

The problem you're seeing is that the iKooks don't own the adult skills to
simply accept that fact. All the iKooks have the confluence of three traits:
1. They garner _all_ their self esteem from Apple supposed superiority
(actually, it's their "choice" in such "supposed" technology)
2. They all have low IQs (you can tell by their lack of adult discussion)
3. As a result, every one lacks formal education (none are above 12th grade)
(most, like Alan Baker & Jolly Roger couldn't even earn their GED)

Like children still believing in Santa Claus well after the fifth grade, the
iKooks are _desperate_ to cling on to their unmet expectations.

Yet, the fact remains the iPhone lacks even the most basic functionality
that not only almost all phones have, but most phones still have - such as
the sdslot, the 3.5mm jack, the FM radio, the charger in the box, etc.

iKook: Santa exists. He's gonna give me an iPhone for Christmas.
Adult: No son. That's just a marketing gimmick. Your parents are Santa.

iKook: No. You're wrong. He exists. I saw him on an Apple advertisement.
Adult: That's how marketing works, son. Apple wants you to think that.

iKook: Liar! Liar! Pants on fire! Wrong! I hate you. You're a troll!

What you're running into is the iKooks (Lewis, nospam, Jolly Roger, Alan
Baker, et. al) are always making _excuses_ for why the iPhone lacks basic
functionality that is (and always has been) in _most_ phones out there.

What they _hate_ is the basic functionality isn't in their beloved iPhone.

The _reason_ nospam is wrong is simply that he will fabricate any excuse he
can think of for the lack of basic functionality in the Apple product line.

FM radio is basic functionality on _most_ phones for good reasons indeed.

I would be perfectly happy if nospam is correct that we missed the solution.

All I want is the solution so that I can add it to my helpful tutorials.

Steve & I both ran a search but nospam claims we're too stupid to find the
many solutions to the stated problem that nospam says he knows of offhand.

We're all still waiting for nospam to come up with what he claims we missed.

It doesn't matter _what_ basic functionality is missing from nospam's
beloved choice in phones as nospam will defend that missing basic
functionality to the death by a myriad of excuses he fabricates.

What remains nonetheless, is the fact the iPhone lacks basic functionality.

a. Industry standard sdcard slots to use with _portable_ memory cards
b. Industry standard 3.5mm jacks for overall general-purpose needs
c. FM radios for emergency use & for specific needs when you're off the net
d. License-free cables & ports (such as industry standard USB-C cables)
e. Fast chargers (or at least slow chargers) provided gratis, in the box
f. Modern capacity batteries (more than 4-1/2 to 7 Amp hours nowadays)
etc.

All of that basic common hardware functionality is on _most phones_ today.
Just not on any current iPhone.

That's what is consistent & not nospam's myriad excuses as to why that fact.
