Never forget Apple's battery life claims have always been bull****.
o Nor that Apple publicly admitted throttling is to _shorten_ device life!

*Expect drastic throttling of the iPhone 12 to kick in after about a year!*

"An iPhone 12 battery test shows that the new models take a huge hit
to their battery-life when using 5G data."

o iPhone 12 battery test shows 2-hour hit when using 5G

"The standard model iPhone 12 lost almost exactly two hours of
battery-life when using 5G compared to 4G, and things were
even worse with the iPhone 12 Pro"

"The iPhone 12 managed 10h 23m on 4G, but that fell to
8h 25m on 5G, a drop of 1h 58m.

The iPhone 12 Pro dropped even further, from 11h 24m to 9h 6m
a fall of 2h 18m.

The site also compared to Android 5G smartphones,
and the comparisons mostly weren't good."

o First teardown video shows how Apple made the iPhone 12 thinner and lighter
https://9to5mac.com/2020/10/21/iphone-12-teardown-video/

"The comparison to the iPhone 11 is interesting because
Apple touts that the iPhone 12 is 11% thinner, 15% smaller,
and 16% lighter.

Getting a peek inside the iPhone 12 offers a clearer look
at how Apple was able to make the size reductions while
retaining the same 6.1-inch screen."
