Don't forget that with batteries in particular we basically always design our devices to use up all that new capacity rather than having them just go longer without charging. If you could fit a modern Iphone battery into one from 2010 it would probably run all week without needing to recharge.

Original iPhone had 1,400mAh battery, iPhone 14 Pro has 3,200mAh. It's almost double the capacity, but nowhere near to run all week.
