With the immense demand for the latest and greatest smartphone in today's society, companies are always trying to update their newest release, whether it be faster RAM, better signals, cooler features, etc. they seem to be ignoring one thing; battery life. In this editorial Ewan Spence brings up the issue on how phones used to work compared to how they do now. Back then, smartphones would last an upward of forty hours and now eighteen is impressive. This is because smartphone designers always try to make the newer phone thinner and sleeker than the previous model. However, in doing this, the first action taken is decreasing the battery size. Therefore, Spence proposes to increase the size of the battery, because 2 to 3 mm are worth the extra battery life.
