"up to 3 days of battery life through normal use."

I use to be able to get weeks of use from a single charge of my old Motorola Razr.

A modern smartphone will go for weeks between charges if you keep it turned off, too.

This comparison is not useful.

I never said anything about turning off the phone.

Sure, and the guy you originally replied to never said anything about a RAZR-type phone.

it's a shame we had to give up battery life for our phones to become 'smart'

And truly surprising that when you add faster components, bigger screens and many, many more functions, phones require additional battery power. At this point, my phone can make it from my wake up at 7am easily until 3am if I'm out late, and that's enough that I don't have to worry about it (though obviously I won't say no to battery improvements).

I can get a week on my Android phone if I use it as a phone. Only calls, few messages and occasional time check.
