Honestly I feel like a lot of the “battery life is worse now” talk kind of misses something important. The way we use our devices has completely changed. Back then we used them in short focused bursts. Now we want our phones and laptops to stay connected all the time, keep background apps running, drive high refresh screens, and even run AI features locally. That’s a big shift in expectations. So maybe battery life didn’t actually get worse. Maybe we’re just expecting way more from our devices than we used to, and we don’t always think about what that really costs.
