gollark: I don't think there's been a breakthrough in batteries or something which makes them not degrade within a few hundred cycles.
gollark: They mostly just seem to have faster CPUs I won't use, higher resolution displays I don't particularly want, bigger ones I cannot actually hold, and excessive thinness at the expense of all else.
gollark: Batteries degrade after not very long, however.
