iPhone 15 Pro first to use new incredibly dense Micron memory chips

Don't need faster chips, denser memory chips, better cameras or higher def screens. What's there now is more than good enough. What I need, and what most of us need, is better battery life.

You don't speak for 'most of us'.  I'm perfectly happy with the battery life in my phone - even with heavy use it makes it through a whole day.  While I wouldn't commit the same mistake and claim that 'most of us' need better cameras, I certainly know quite a few people who'd want better zoom on theirs.  I do agree that performance *seems* plenty good enough for what most people use their phones for.  But I guess it's sort of like the range on electric cars: most people only go on a long trip where good range is important once or twice a year.  Yet range is exactly why most people haven't switched to EVs yet - they want that 300+mi range, just in case...maybe same with performance: you never know when you might need it, so you want it.

In case you meant batteries with larger charge capacity then the “15% power efficiency improvement” could be good. But if you really meant longer battery lifetimes then this is fairly unimportant.

These chips have a 15% power efficiency improvement, which could allow for longer battery life, however is balanced out by other processes. Better cameras are a big deal to many people. There is a demand by pros and prosumers for faster data rates for unloading the phones. This might be a reason for the difference of data rates between the regular and pro models. Not the only reason.
