    Well put. If people want to improve their battery life, addressing software issues (keep it up to date, erase and set up as new, etc) and usage habits (connect to WiFi, dim screen, turn off background app refresh, etc) would make a much bigger daily impact.

      You know you can do those with a better battery too, right?

      It’s like saying, why do you need more than 4gb of ram, just close your programs and don’t open too many tabs.

        Of course. I’m saying that instead of waiting for a new phone or battery technology to come along, people can vastly improve their average battery life right now by simply following some best practices. So many people don’t update their devices or have other software problems that cause them battery issues but all they consider is the physical battery itself.
