> Notice how some phones with 4000 mAh battery will be dead in 30mins while playing a game which the Steam Deck can handle for maybe 1.5 hours of gameplay? However if I wanted something to stay on all day to receive text notifications and pretty much be idle in my pocket, I'd want an ARM processor.

Untrue, one can easily play GTA Trilogy or Genshin Impact on an iPhone for ~4 hours. But even if it was, a phone battery is rated, on average, between 12Wh and 20Wh, whereas the Steam Deck is 40Wh.

> I think the real reason Apple went ARM is that after studying the life habits of their customers they realized most of their laptop users fold sleep their devices like a phone without ever really charging them.

Nonsense, suspend to RAM has been a staple in laptops for decades now.

> Someone at work even asked if they could just code on their Samsung phone because it got better battery life than the old Intel Macs.

Wow, just wow.

GTA Trilogy 4H on an iPhone. I really doubt even the Max variant at lowest brightness can do that. Generational improvements has been mediocre and I know for a fact that if you get 2H runtime with a moderate game (like Risk) it's already pretty good.

You are a funny guy.

That's not my experience at all, but alright.
