Why isn;t it. The battery is the power supply it's what supplies power to the circuitry so it is the power supply.
the power supply refers to the part that plugs in the wall, not the battery.
Apple doesn't refer to them as a "power supply". Apple calls them a "Power Adapter". It adapts, or converts, the incoming power to the level that is required to charge the battery.
it goes by many names.
Two, at least, but not the one you use: power supply.
Where is an instance - other than in your writing - where it is used by someone with credibility and/or an Apple employee?many people call it that. the internals are a switching power supply. look it up and learn something for a change.
nope. it means that google knows what was meant by a given search term based on what people actually use in the real world, not your little world.nospamTony Cooper
it also supplies power.Tony Coopernospam

If you Google "iPhone power supply", you are redirected to "charging devices" and "power adapters".
https://www.apple.com/power-adapters/
which means that common usage is that power supply means the box that plugs into the wall.
No, it doesn't. It means that Google's algorithm picked up on the words "iPhone" and "power" and found the nearest probable inclusion of those words in a term. It has nothing - nothing - to do with "common usage".
so what? it goes by many names.nospamTony Cooper
google does that for a lot of search terms.Tony Coopernospam
I would not consider an adapter to be a power supply. The power adapter charges the battery, and the power the phone uses comes from the battery.
not always, and what you personally consider it to be does not matter.
your google search proves that power supply == power adapter.
JXC! It doesn't *prove* anything except that Apples uses "power adapter".
no it definitely does not, which should be obvious to anyone who gives it even a moment's thought.Tony CooperThe phone can be used with the adapter in use, or with a charger connected to a 12V system, but the power still comes through the battery. Without the battery in place, there is no way to power up the phone without some modification to the phone.nospam
actually it doesn't.
Yes it does.
nope.nospamTony Cooper
when it's connected to a charger, it's *charging* the battery, not running from the battery.
The battery is making the phone operational. The charger is charging the battery, but the power used when the phone is operational is from the battery. The charger is just replenishing the battery's power.
nope. energy is flowing *into* the battery, which is how it charges.nospamTony Cooper
or to put it another way, energy is flowing into the battery, not out of it.
You don't need to. I wrote "through the battery". Energy is also flowing out of battery to power the phone.
any time you resort to that, we know you're full of shit.Tony CooperIn any battery-powered device - like a drill or a portable vacuum - no one would consider the adapter used to charge the battery to be a power supply. It's called either a power adapter or a charging device.nospam
sure they would.
How many coach passengers did you ask?
You do come up with some doozies to defend your errors.
Wouldn't it be simpler just to admit "well, yeah, it's an adapter not a power supply, but i wasn't thinking right when i wrote that."it goes by many names.
