I don’t think anyone is spinning a bigger battery as genius innovation by Apple, but a bigger battery is nice to have. I wouldn’t even say this is Apple catching up though, battery life comparisons between the 14 Pro Max and S23 Ultra have been favorable to the iPhone and that’s with the Samsung having a 16% bigger battery.
Plus it’s a good thing to have companies competing with each other. I’m glad Samsung is putting bigger batteries in their phones if it gets Apple to continue improving battery life.
Yea "battery life" is the intersection of energy consumption and energy storage. Focusing purely on the spec sheet (the size of the battery) makes a very incomplete (and frequently biased) comparison.
