    No there’s a whole suite of ways that the phone knows it’s being used or not. It limits charging capacity for longevity etc, and it’s fairly advanced. It’s the reason iOS devices consistently compete for usable battery life hours with android devices that have much bigger physical battery cells.

      Oh, well if the industry magazines’ benchmarks say so then I won’t bother you with my own experiences with switching… Clearly I was spreading disinformation. Nevermind! 😅

      Personally I found Apple does what Samsung does slightly better, but there is no comparison with the battery conservation of customized operating systems on droids. Samsung and Apple both suck.
