Right but this is an article from The Guardian comparing the energy cost of appliances in the UK. People in the UK and Ireland often use their kettled a lot. Multiple times per day.
And LED TVs are pretty much standard now. It’d be hard to find a TV that consumes anywhere close to 200W. 100W is more plausible, but even at that point it’s still wrong to assume that the TV will use more electricity than the kettle in the average UK home.

The watts of the kettle don’t really matter. There is very little power waste in a kettle, so a low-power kettle will still use the same amount of energy as a high-power kettle. The only difference is the amount of time it takes to boil the water.
A litre of water generally takes about 100Wh to boil. In my family, the kettle could easily be used 4-5 times in one day, adding up to around 500Wh per day.
Also 200W is insane for a modern TV. My 50in LED TV only uses about 60W. I’d have to watch tv for more than 8 hours per day for it to use as much energy as the kettle. And in my case, it’s only turned on for about 3 hours per day.
Even if the kettle was only used four times per day, it would still consume more than twice the electricity of my TV.

All of them are missing mmWave 5G. Only the US model has that. There are also some LTE and mid-band 5G bands that are used in the US that don’t work on any of the foreign iPhone models.

This is a really bad idea.
Not only is the non-US model more expensive, it doesn’t have many of the 5G and LTE bands that are used in the United States. You can’t access mmWave 5G on any network unless you have a US model, and you will get worse coverage on T-Mobile because one of their mid-band 5G bands and an LTE band won’t work.

> On average, modern TVs use 58.6W when on and 1.3W on standby
PC monitors are different.
