Li Nan, former executive of Meizu, talks about why the iPhone 12 series has a small battery capacity

Foreign media reported that the battery capacity of iPhone 12 mini is 2227mAh, while iPhone 12 uses 2815mAh battery, which is smaller than the 3110mAh battery of iPhone 11. The capacity of iPhone 12 Pro/Max has not been disclosed yet, but it should not exceed 4000mAh.

As for why the battery capacity of the iPhone 12 series is small, Li Nan, former senior vice president of Meizu and current founder of Angry Miao, shared his views.

Li Nan believes that many people have not figured out one thing: behind a good but unique industrial design, there are actually changes in consumers' daily lifestyles, and may even be a reflection of the entire society on the function of the product.

The iPhone 12 series maintains an extremely thin thickness at the cost of reducing the battery, which is related to the reflection on the popularity of intelligent social push. "The Social Dilemma" is the culmination of this reflection.

Under a healthy lifestyle, people should be more integrated into nature, interact with real friends, and enjoy more real rather than virtual pleasures.

If you don’t watch TikTok all day long, don’t report a lot of personal data, don’t get anxious about push notifications, and your time becomes increasingly fragmented, do you still need such long-lasting power?

Li Nan said that the reason he changed to iPhone SE2 was because he was tired of being controlled by push notifications and intelligent recommendations. He turned off all push notifications, stopped using TikTok, and stopped responding to social networks in real time. He just kept communicating, searched for the information he needed, enjoyed the convenience of payment, etc. This phone can be used for a day and a half.

The key is to be more comfortable in daily life, more focused on your goals, and less likely to report your privacy.

After reading Li Nan’s thoughts on the small battery capacity of the iPhone 12 series products, one has to admit that his understanding is so fresh and unconventional. I guess Cook would call him an expert and express his affirmation after reading it.
