Battery tech is constantly having huge breakthroughs. They are just come in small steps.

I mean a smart phone is literally a battery powered computer. It's absolutely astounding compared to what we had 10/20 years ago.

Only thing I'm upset with is that we get more battery capacity, but not longer battery time. I want to clock my phone down to save power, but that's not allowed.

Most phones have some sort of "Ultra power saving" mode that gives a lot of battery life.

I always use the power saving mode, however my experience is that the battery time is almost the same irregardless of battery capacity (comparing arbitrarily över the years)
