Standardized testing isn't the end all be all. Manufacturers have wiggle room. Most of the time you can also voluntarily derate yourself. EPA testing is standardized, but there's a surprisingly wide margin that you can test your car at.

BMW is pretty famous for derating their HP output so they're closer to whats available at the wheels. Every other manufacturer will measure at the crank (the balls)

It's all vendor specific on Android.

I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I've never destroyed the port on my device.

Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they're clean?

You misunderstand. I went to from the A71 to the 6. I am only recently on the 9.

They made it very clear that they'll continue. It's just a bit harder now. Plus, they'll fast track their own hardware now.
