It depends... in my family life (gf, live together, plan things like dinner so I tend to know when I'm home in the evening) it's no issue. But in my student life, it'd often suck. Come home from college around 5 pm and get a text from a friend who wants to eat out somewhere, alright... leave the restaurant around 7, go to a bar for some drinks around 10... if I go home at this point, no problem, but I'd already be in battery saving mode by now. If we then decide to meet some other friends for drinks and then go clubbing, around 12 my phone is dead and checking to see which bus or taxi can take me home around 4 AM is a no-no. Crashing at someone else's place for the night? Let's hope he has the same phone (trivial for android nowadays, even iPhone users tend to have micro usb laying around). Anyway in some ways it's very much an edge case (how many people are students who find themselves in the above situation often?). Still battery issues are still something I run into and the idea of carrying a charger anywhere I go didn't fit my lifestyle for a long time. (generally went places without a bag, and even if I did have a bag I'd go to different places I didn't own in some way or stayed for long (like an office space where I could keep a spare charger and plug in for most of the day). Today it's not an issue, I spend most of my day at the office or at home, have chargers in both places and tend not to be away from either for more than 10 hours. But I still feel a bit restricted, visiting my parents over the weekend used to be jumping on the bike and going there whenever I felt like it and deciding to eat and perhaps even sleep over would be a spontaneous decision once I got there. Now I have to actually plan ahead for that or be stuck without battery on a phone I rely on nowadays, it may seem trivial but I'd still love to pay a substantial amount for a better battery, and would very much welcome modern phones to be 10-30% thicker/heavier, filled with battery. Take the first iPhone, that was 12mm, today we're at about 7mm. I totally wouldn't mind to go to 9mm and get 28% more volume which'd probably be at least 40% more battery. Hell wouldn't mind the iPhone 6 performance in the 6S, either but that's just me. Combined it inches closer to the 2-day usecase, or day, night and early morning usecase that I feel should become a minimum standard in 2016, that has the priority over dropping below 7mm phones for me. The iPhone 6 for example was 6.9mm, the 6S are now 7.1mm, nobody in the world cared their phone got thicker and is 14g heavier than the 6, which was 17g heavier than the 5S, again nobody shed a tear over that, < 8mm is good enough, < 200g is good enough, for me anyway.
