    There was literally no problem with the batteries in that case that
    is not a problem for every smartphone battery.

    Except that it only affected Apple

    Liar. Samsung was fined at the same time: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-slow-down-fine-2018-917806/

    & even then, only some Apple phones,

    Liar. It affected all iPhones running iOS 10.2.1 and later which is when
    the feature was introduced.

    Apple design was the problem.

    Nope. No evidence of that baseless assertion.

    Apple was charged with both criminal and civil crimes, almost all of
    which Apple had to settle for a total of well over 100 times that
    Samsung fine.

    Your claim that it only affected Apple is bullshit, little Arlen.

    So the size of the fine is important...

    ...why exactly?

    So he can try to move the goal post.

    You're the one who moved the goalpost to Samsung

    No, child. You claimed this was an "only Apple" issue, and I showed your
    to be wrong. Now you're desperately trying to move the goal post to
    "yeah but Apple had more fines". You're a mental midget, little Arlen.

    plonk

    By all means, run away! The adults are talking.

    I would absolutely love having a phone with a four or five day

    What early "smart phone" had a battery that lasted four or five days?

    I guess they are talking about dumb phones. I recall I was lucky to get
    5 hours out of my Palm Treo back in the day.

    It goes without saying most people would love a smartphone that lasted
    several days on a charge - but they almost certainly would hate the
    additional weight required with today's technologies.

    One you charge and leave on the sideboard unused.

    The iPhone *must* be charged every night because of the crappy battery.

    And yet it is among the longest running smartphones...

    <https://www.tomsguide.com/us/smartphones-best-battery-life,review-2857.html>

    'The 14 Plus is the hardest iPhone 14 model to recommend, but battery
    life is the big thing in its favour. This is a phone that can
    comfortably last two full days of normal use, and potentially stretch to three if you only use it occasionally.'

    This can't be. Arlen said it *must* be charged every night!

    Maybe we should check with badgolferman...
