You have switched terminology and are using it in a very particular context. The original discussion was over from where the iPhone obtained it's power. As can be seen above Whisky-dave said "A battery can be said to be suplying power to the device."

At this point you came in and said "Supplying power != Power supply."

It was at this point you switched to using 'Power Supply Unit' rather than 'Power Supply'.

Sandman
Mistaken or lying?

" the power supply refers to the part that plugs in the wall, not the battery."

The part that plugs into the wall is the power supply unit or PSU

Eric Stevens
I was discussing your use of words, Not Whisky-dave's.

Sandman
You incorrectly said that *I* changed terminology, when in fact I didn't. You were wrong, but it's not like you're ever going to admit it.

You did though. The original discussion was over from where the iPhone obtained it's power. As can be seen further up the thread Whisky-dave said "A battery can be said to be suplying power to the device."

At this point you came in and said "Supplying power != Power supply."

It was at this point you switched to using 'Power Supply Unit' rather than 'Power Supply'.

In the very particular context of most electronic devices Power Supply Unit is not the same as Power Supply and it's the Power Supply we should be discussing.

Eric Stevens
I hadn't quite caught up with your jump and, in that context, you are quite correct. However, it is not what we had been discussing.

Sandman
Incorrect. What you want to discuss incorrectly and what was being discussed is not the same thing.

Eric Stevens
So you say.

Sandman
What's this - third grade comeback class?

Eric Stevens
Make up your mind. You are the one who wrote "Supplying power !>>Power supply." A PSU can't supply power. All it can do is process the power with which it is supplied.

Sandman
Semantics, the trolls last resort.

Eric Stevens
You don't understand the meaning of semantics, either.

Sandman
I love it when you illiterate trolls tell me that I don't understand something.

You think semantics is about word meanings. Well, it isn't. Look it up. --
