remember when Apple was caught throttling down their devices to save battery? kasi their devices receive up to 5 iOS versions.

I have an Android 8 device at home just to maintain my travel SIM cards and pwede pa sya as a spare device. pero I'm sure if the same hardware ran Android 9 or 10, maiinis na din ako sa battery life nya.

same with our businesses RealMe C30 - its working fine on Android 11 GO, pero I'm sure it will be slower with a shorter battery life if it ran Android 13
i thought,
newer apps on newer cellphones, will use less electricity than equivalent older apps on older phones.
but more apps in the phones will certainly need more electricity to run.
that is perhaps the reason why some newer, more app-packed units, now come with upgraded batteries.
