    My guess is that phone batteries always work at a fixed voltage, contrary to laptops that dynamically adjust the given to certain components (like the CPU).

    Thus, it makes more sense for phone batteries to be measured in the rule of how many amperes per hour can they withstand instead of Watts per hour.

      The voltage of your battery decreases as it is used, like pretty much any other battery. Why are you guessing?

      It is neither amperes per hour nor watts per hour. Those imply division (1 watt, over two hours, would be 1/2 a watt per hour. Useless as a unit for most of us). Ah and Wh are amps or watts multiplied by hours, pronounced as amp-hours or watt-hours (1 watt, for 2 hours, would be 2 watt-hours)
