For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Always on? Bah! It wears out the screen and drains the battery.

My Sammy S10 can barely last a day even with most things off. My Sammy watch also lasts maybe 22 hours.

When do we finally get devices that can run for three weeks?

Smartphones are already insanely energy efficient. But instead of tuning them for longer battery life, companies kept pushing for faster processing, higher resolutions and refresh rates in the last few years. Now there's diminishing returns (imo 4k on a 6" device is just absurd) so I expect future devices to double down on energy efficiency. But then maybe companies just end up decreasing the battery's capacity for lower weight...

Yeah. I would pay extra for a phone that is a few millimeters thicker but runs for three days! I can't be the only one??
