Of course it's been a complaint forever but how many flagship phones with great battery life do you count? My point is that More battery-hungry widespread applications = More pressure on manufacturers to answer to those complaints.

It's also been a complaint forever that people's parents, friends, children, and selves keep dying. And yet somehow that hasn't translated into enough market pressure to make them all immortal.

Of course in reality the market pressure for protection from death is much greater than the market pressure for improved battery life while seeing weaker results in the market. Your battery life is not a market pressure issue.

At least two off the top of my head. The Droid Turbos that Verizon shows off in commercials have massive batteries.
