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.
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%.
