It’s not a waste at all. The extra computing power allows them to get much better performance than previous model OR the same performance with half the power use. That’s pretty important in a mobile device.

But capacitors aren’t batteries. Batteries store chemical energy. Capacitors store electrical potential energy. Electronically they behave much differently.

Ah so just the 16” is 100Wh then. Makes sense, more room.

MacBook Pros are 100Wh as well. Battery life is incredible.

There’s no security implications with allowing users to play mp3 files, they don’t care where they came from. 75% of my library is music that I either pirated or ripped from my own CDs, it’s not like iTunes (now Music) can tell which is mine and which isn’t. Same thing with movies/tv shows.

You don’t need to be on android to play pirated music. OP clearly is more interested in supporting the artists.

It’s all done on-device

I was under the impression that a company (AT&T) owns the tower, and they can lease out connections from that tower to other providers. They are also required by law to route 911 calls for free, but I can see a scenario if they botched the routing where 911 would not be accessible from that tower.

Doesn’t That tower still need to route the call to 911? And if that routing is broken the call wouldn’t go through…I think?

Not sure how accurate this would be as charging is not 100% efficient. Also the amount of power the phone uses while charging would have to be taken into account as well.

I’ve heard this a couple times now. Where in Canada are they doing this?
