If I recall correctly the iPhone 8 actually lost battery capacity because they needed space for the wireless charging system. So if they wanted to use the same case design (to save money on re-tooling/re-use existing assembly lines) and keep wireless charging it might not be avoidable. We'll likely know more if IFixIt or similar do a tear-down. I do agree though that even with potential battery savings from the newer CPU architecture, it could be a problem in the latter half of the SE 2's life. |

Apple has been making some just flat out awful design decisions in terms of their hardware for the past, what feels like a decade at this point but it's much shorter than that. While form can be greater than functionality, why would I ever want a phone that blatantly has printed on it "Planned Obsolescence?" The things I care about on an iphone are not "the best processor" out there. I want efficient ram usage and long battery life. Ram was never an issue with iOS so they just needed a great battery. What did they give us? A better processor...that's going to drain the battery in a year with the next iOS update because they keep pushing software updates that demand more of the system. I won't be shocked if malware get's into iphones any time soon showing how lazy they've been with MacOS in the last few years.
