"Out of routine" is routine for frequent flyers. You never know when you'll end up spending the night in an airport transit lounge or you can't get into your hotel at the end of a flight around the world, or whatever. Or when driving or hiking through a somewhat remote area and something goes wrong....
When things go wrong, you need to make calls, put out fires, keep trying to reach remote towers using full radio power for extended periods.
When things go wrong is when you MOST need your phone, so you need a battery that can continue to serve you a lot longer than it normally needs to on an ordinary day unless you can somehow be certain that for you every day will be an ordinary day.
- tedunangst 10y agoDo frequent flyers not bring chargers in their carry on?
- SiVal 10y agoSure, but they're never guaranteed a place and time for a nice recharge.
- gcr 10y agoTell me. Where in LAX or SFO or LGA can I find an electric outlet? Some airports make them impossible to find, highly coveted, surrounded by the territorial and ferroucious Horde, oodles of macbook MagSafe and ipad Lightning cables eminating from the wall like thin withering tentacles of some white goop monster emanating from the power grid. Other airports lock the power sockets away behind "Employee Only" signs and caution tape, with menacing security guards patrolling the area should you even think about stealing those precious MWh from the institution. Still other airports have rows upon rows of power outlets in plain sight, but every single one of them is dead, disconnected, dying like your phone battery.
