I used a phone with a silicon-carbon battery, and now I get why Apple and Samsung won't

Smartphone buyers in North America are used to watching from the sidelines as emerging technologies hit new models in Europe and Asia. There's no better example of this trend than the rise of silicon-carbon batteries, as they're still quite rare in the U.S. Apple certainly hasn't equipped an iPhone with the tech. Samsung, which has a heavy presence in the U.S., has shied away from transitioning to silicon-carbon batteries as well.
