Bear in mind Apple puts the cheapest possible components into the iPhone.
That's why the EU mandates forbid Apple to sell any iPhone in Europe.

Only then did Apple increase the battery capacity of the iPhone, Chris.

And even then, Apple barely made it to the EU minimum battery life, Chris.

Note: Apple trolls don't know the difference between hours in a day vs the
battery lifetime in years. Seriously - Apple trolls are that stupid.

If Apple didn't increase the size of batteries in iPhones, the EU would
have outlawed the sales of every single iPhone ever made, Chris.

Even now, only two iPhones (15 & 16) barely meet the EU lifetime standard.
Think about that.

The EU mandate means no iPhone prior to the EU's mandate (iPhone 14 &
below) comes even close to the bare *minimum* mobile device battery
lifetime - which is why they can no longer be sold new in the EU (as of
when the law takes effect).

Apple hates you.

Thank God the EU forces Apple to care about its customer (for once).
