Why are iPhone Batteries Still so Small (alien.top)

This is 2023. And the iPhone 15 battery is about 3300 vs the Google Pixel's 4300. And it's on Black Friday Sale for 347 dollars. Why in the world is there 1000 more mAh in a midrange phone than a flagship iPhone 15. Idc if they optimize software the battery life of iPhones compared to Android is crap. Why is apple doing this? 3300 mAh in a 800 dollar phone seems crazy to me. Also the Pixel 7a and iPhone 15 are the exact same size, 6.1 inch.

Probably because Apple thinks that having a near 20 hours battery life under normal use is fine.

20 hours isn't under normal use. It's disconnected from all Internet and Wi-Fi and it's playing video at a specific brightness. Screen on time watching videos or scrolling social media is 4 hours or so
