Comparison of battery longevity of iPhone 7 against selected Android phones from some "Consumer Group" called "Which?" which is the UK version of Consumers Reports. Contrary to a generic product testing lab who does not really do this often, other tech labs who do find Apple's battery life estimates are usually a tad conservative. . . after Apple tweaks the software a bit more. — PING!

FYI - the listed talk time and Internet use listed on the Apple image are within 10% of the actual measured time from Watch? Which should lend credence to their results...

Here's something to think about regarding battery life.

I carry my iPhone 5c around with me constantly, and use it throughout the day and evening for calls and texts, checking weather, and occasional FReeping.

I have chargers at home, work, and in my car. When I'm not using the phone for more than a few minutes, I put it on a charger. My battery never gets below about 60%.

If I had a phone with, say, twice the "battery life", it wouldn't get below 80%. THAT's NO NET EFFECT, NO BENEFIT TO ME.

Why in heavens name would I ever let the battery run flat dead??? What are these people doing, talking non-stop, in an environment where they have no access to a charger for 10 hours at a time? Have they no work, no school, no car, no life?

Okay then. Except for the few people whose jobs demand they be on the phone constantly -AND- no access to a charger (that's less than 10% of the user base, I'd guess), it should be a no-brainer.

I think this whole battery life "issue" is crap. It's completely avoidable for 90% of the users.

LESSON: If you never have to turn your amp up past '9', it doesn't matter whether the top end is '10' or '11'.
