I was thinking at first that this would lead to even more aggressive “app optimization” where it would refuse to notify alarms you’ve explicitly set due to battery life concerns.
But instead there’s a better way, which I hope manufacturers will take. Perhaps smartphone chips can stop chasing absolute peak performance and instead focus on good performance at a reasonable power budget.
Of course the biggest problem is bloated software but idk how we can fix that.
Sure, the chip makers make halo performance chips, but that’s because the phone makers are pushing them to make those chips for halo phones. The reason for that is that the public buy (or at least rent) halo phones.
Educating the public that there are reasons to buy more efficient phones should help shape the demand curve of the whole industry.

There’s multiple levels to it:
