Isn't the Apple A9 processor rumored to be on a smaller lithography process than the A8? There may be a slight dip in system power consumption to go with that battery change. I wouldn't put it past the engineers to scrape and scratch like that.

That's really good, going by your anecdote. xthetenth posted:New processes basically always have power improvements (although the most recent ones have been kinda meh in that regard). (E: movax's point is important too, chances to redesign on the same process are a thing) And I wanted to mention that a battery capacity change of 100 mAh is like burning money to reinvent the wheel. Grandfathering the old battery would have at least been a tiny discount on R&D or supply or retooling custom parts. However, this is the company we're talking about that asks things like ridiculous engineering measurement tolerances in the ballpark of fractions of hundredths of a percent from builders of in-store display cases (personal family anecdote). COULD THIS BE THE MOST UNIQUE, MOST ADVANCED, AND MOST PROFESSIONAL APPLE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AT WORK?
