    Battery life is more important than battery size.

    that said I've had a Galaxy for the last 1.5 years of my contract. Have had it replaced twice. And has easily been my worst experience with cell phones. Smart or not.

    I listen to a lot of Podcasts, which is ∞ better on IOS. So thats probably where I'll be going next.
    I've had Android phones/tablets most of the time, and love how less locked down there are. Then I realized I use 10% of the features at most, that arent locked down.

    So I guess I'll be going with Iphone when contract is finally up. Even if ease of use is "Gimmicky" :)

    Seems unlikely.

    1) Tesla just released the patents a few weeks ago; the phone has probably been in development for months.
    2) Tesla's battery pack weighs hundreds of pounds, it probably won't fit in the iPhone :)

    It might:

    The next-generation 5.5-inch smartphone from Apple, which may already be delayed due to issues with the in-cell touch display panel, will now house a battery with a thickness of only 2 millimeters versus the current iPhone 5 battery size of 3 millimeters

    A battery that is 2MM thick, that is crazy
