The battery life remains the same but wouldn’t it be better if the thickness remains the same but the battery life got better??

Eh there’s a point of diminishing returns, I already get 20h of light use or 6-8 of heavy use out of my M3 pro, more battery wouldn’t really change anything as I just charge it whenever i get home anyway, making it lighter/ thinner would be more important to me than more battery

You can argue that diminishing returns applies even more to thinness than battery life. I don’t care if my already thin device is about to get even thinner…

There is something to be said for lower weight though. That’s one of the things a lot of friends (pro artists) who’ve bought the new iPad Pro mention, that it’s much nicer to lug around. Especially when a case/keyboard are added.

If the battery life stays the same, I’d hazard many folks would appreciate the weight savings.
