Except there are 100 million iphone users, which is what you should be considering, not just one iphone.

This. Have to consider that apple just flipped this switch for every iPhone that got the update. One iPhone makes no difference but consider the millions of people with phones that never unflip this switch either because they wanna make a difference or because they had no idea about it.

Take two hundred million iphones (less than they sold last year alone) and you're looking at 3.4 billion watt hours. Multiply that my maybe 900 full charge cycles per year and you're looking at a trillion watt hours just from the phones sold last year. Sooner or later it's going to add up to serious juice.
