  1. Unbelievable when you look how good battery life is on the MBA. After all these years you’d thought Apple would give more space in their phones for a larger battery.

  2. Why buy one if you have to turn all these off? I haven’t exactly had stellar battery life from my HTC One: I’ve nearly made it through an entire day a couple of times. I did look at power saving tips but the problem is that it’s too irresistible not to use. I’m near a charger most of the time anyway and I have a portable battery pack as well. I would love to see a massive improvement in battery technology but until then it’s not going to stop me using the thing how I want.
