Battery life hasn't been an issue on Android for like 5 years. Phone I'm using at the moment is a low-end Samsung, I have hundreds of apps, run a VPN and Tailscale, lots of automation, two sync apps, and a bunch of other stuff.

With normal use it lasts most of a day. When I say normal, I mean my normal, which is to hammer on the poor thing, the screen is rarely off.

For the average user this thing would last 2 days (I tested it when I got it, just put a few typical apps on).

Though you know your way around phones, and have developed your reasons for choosing the things you do, like long battery life.

You're not the user who chooses iPhone because they don't know anything and hear iPhone is better, Android is green low-rent bubbles.
