so only around 17.25% smaller battery than the base model. That ain’t as bad as I thought. The Air also has 12GB RAM vs 8GB on the base model.
Now the lack of the stereo speaker and ultra wide camera at this price point… that is a weird trade off. I really like the Air but I think they could have instead easily make a new Mini model with this time a good battery life.
Do note that the Air will have a larger screen (which will drain more battery), will have worse thermals, and has the “Pro” chip (but with one less GPU core than the one in the Pro phones, but it will definitely run pretty hot)
I know. Also it also has more efficient modem. Battery capacity is basically identical to the iPhone 15 Pro. Apple only quotes video playback for battery longevity which is quite useless metric as this heavily relies on the efficiency of the HW decoder so I’ll see after reviews. What I’m certain about though is that the battery life won’t be worse than the Pixel 10.
