    @riodoro1 @NightOwl I dunno, if you compare capacities of say, iPhone 14 Pro (12.38Wh) to Fairphone 4 (15.03Wh) and then the product dimensions of the two. There’s not a huge amount in it. Adding the 14 Pro Max (16.68Wh) for additional comparisons.

    The Fairphone is 2.6mm thicker than the iPhones. (Yes the screen bezels are chonk too lol) But the fairphone is also making allowance to make every single component swappable, and has an IPS display (switching to OLED would save 1+ millimeter)

      The hard part with iPhones isn’t the battery side of the equation here, it’s Magsafe (which is great imo) While regular QI charging is fairly lowkey, I could see the extra tech required inside the phone for that being prohibitive in terms of spatial management.
