What none of the zealots understand is basic math, chemistry and physics,
which the Apple zealots repeatedly claim doesn't apply to Apple products.

According to the zealots, basic math & physics doesn't apply to Apple
batteries, which last forever (they never die in decades of use).

To ignore lifetime (which is measured in years, lest they keep talking
about hours alone) and to ignore that the battery capacity is a key
determinant of that lifetime (where capacity is measured in amp hours), 
is how I can tell these zealots are claiming Apple batteries last forever.

They don't.
They're just batteries.

Apple batteries follow all the laws of physics that other batteries follow.
And the capacity is a critical determinant of the number of charge cycles.

Notice these Apple zealots only talk about hours, instead of charge cycles?
That's because they're claiming Apple batteries = infinite charge cycles.

Anyone who talks only of hours of life without mentioning charge cycles, is
claiming Apple batteries last forever since charge cycles don't matter.

They do.

Any discussion of "hours of use" without "charge cycles" is meaningless.

It's telling, actually, that both Apple slick advertisements and Apple
zealots ignore that a fundamental determinant of charge cycles is capacity.

And iPhone batteries have the worst capacity of similarly priced phones.

Apple advertises an efficiency that is measured at 1 or 2 percent, which is
great, but a couple of percent can't offset a 200% decrease in capacity.

That's just basic physics.
The same basic physics that the zealots claim doesn't ever apply to Apple.
