This is very, very interesting. This goes back to Apple's old slogan, "Think Different."

In this case, there are two methods for dealing with the mobile charging problem:

• better battery;
• better device.

Whereas "everybody" was working the charging problem through "better" batteries, at best improving efficiency on the margins, Apple attacked the "demand" problem by going after a better device -- one that needed less energy. By decreasing the amount of energy needed, Apple could develop better projects with current battery technology. In the big scheme of things, breakthroughs in batteries are not happening after decades of research.

Better chips, i.e., PoPs and SoCs, can exponentially improve things.

And, oh, by the way, better chips, using less energy, generate less heat which means mobile devices (like watches and iPads) can be made lighter and thinner because they don't need huge heat-sinks. I remember the first time I took apart one of my early Apple computers and saw how huge and how heavy "metal" heat sinks were. Disgusting.

Simply my favorite place to be. If I can't be where I really want to be. 

There's not one bit of wasted space. LOL.
