            The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a bigger 5,000 mAh battery. Apple would never put such a big 5,000 mAh in the iPhone. If they did the iPhone would run just as long as the Galaxy S24 Ultra does.

                      Why Apple states that iPhone 16 vanilla charges wired at 20 watts only?
                      Or do I miss something?! 🤔

                                    And same goes with notebooks too btw.
