I think the challenge is battery. Frequent inference draws a ton of power.

[neepi]

Yes. If I have to trade off a stupid phone with 100% determinism and good battery life versus an intelligent phone with 70% determinism and shit battery life then I'm going to take the stupid phone.

I get 4 or so days of battery life. If I lost a day I don't think I'd notice.

My phone 15 pro is almost always dead by the end of the day. Yesterday it actually died and I had to plug it in. last night it was at 5%

and, I’m not a major user. I don’t TikTok, X, Instagram, or any other social media. Nor do I do much else on my phone that I see heavy users do around me

You can see which apps are eating battery in settings. I do 80% charging doing about 6 hours of screen time a day and I usually end the day around 30-50%.

[gessha]

Did you notice battery life tanking a few weeks ago or am I imagining things?

[sitzkrieg]

noticeable decrease after updating ios. yay

[neepi]

15 pro here. I noticed it with 18.5

[mingus88]

That’s where PCC comes in. But I still don’t understand how their device margins are going to fund all these AI data centers

Especially now that their App Store revenue is collapsing

Meanwhile, the main attraction of the upcoming iphone 17 lineup is a thin and light "Air" model that has a bigger screen and a smaller battery.

[sgerenser]

Thinner with a smaller battery, yes. Not a larger screen though, actually slightly smaller than the "Plus" iPhone which it will supposedly be replacing.

I wouldn't say that's a Unique Apple Problem though.
