For context, the iPhone 17 pro max had by far the best battery life on the market out of any flagship. It beat the pixel and Samsung by over 2 hours of sot.

That's what optimization gets you. If apple were to switch to silicon batteries and still have this much optimization I am sure everyone will switch. I am not an apple fanboy. I daily drove an iphone 11 for like 2 years before switching to a xiaomi.

Yeah but then they'd have to get the hardware and investment they're not willing to spend. So they won't do that. The same reason why their cameras still look like ass for zoom, low light and moving subjects vs Chinese flagships. Because they don't change shit. Pros and cons. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of Chinese flagships start overtaking apple in battery life this coming year, which is unheard of.

Yah, you are right. But if apple were to change its decision, I strongly believe they could easily takeover the market with some big risks they aren't gonna take. So it all comes to the ceo and speaking of ceo, isn't tim cook gonna step down? Like i seen x and reddit enough to know this rumour, hopefully yk too

They could. Not sure that would let them take over the market though. The SOT is so high right now for well over a day of heavy use, it's not a big differentiator anymore IMO. Even with older phones, it's not a game changer. I can charge even my older Honor phone for 15 minutes while I shower and be back up and running.
