So I guess I'll have to even longer stick to my iPhone SE 3rd Gen.

I’m sure there is a nice word for this kind of "bias": you only read the opinions of the people who have the courage and ability to express themselves. It’s possible that the "mood" you perceive by reading the posts is not mirroring a real average, since you don’t see the lurkers and their honest thoughts 😅

We believe that battery life is the closest thing to a true Achilles' heel for the Framework laptop. In PCMark 10 Modern Office battery testing—which includes a mix of office applications, streaming video chat, and desktop idle workloads—the Framework doesn't quite hit nine hours of runtime, despite its solid 55Wh battery capacity.
It could be worse!
Hey and thanks for asking. It’s not that these headaches start instantly. It's more that something feels off when I'm looking at screens that are dimmed via PWM. On the iPhone it often happens that when my eyes focus text, I notice a slight flicker in the edges. When I then try to focus the flicker, it disappears and the now out of focus part of the screen (the text) starts to flicker. This triggers something in my brain which makes just looking at the screen exhausting, which then leads to headaches and dizziness.
This is at normal brightness levels (less than 100%). When cranking it up, PWM gets disabled on most screens, so I don’t notice any flicker anymore, but of course have the problem that I am staring at a too bright screen.
