I used to carry a spare battery with me and swap them in 10 seconds when the one in the phone died. Now I have to carry a much bulkier battery powered charger and USB cable that takes an hour to recharge the phone.
- Gigachad 4y agoThat stopped being an issue for most people a while ago. The latest gen phones last all day under reasonably heavy usage and charge within a few minutes on a wall charger.
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoPower banks are pretty small these days. If you have magnetic inductive charging capabilities on your phone, you can even just snap them on and keep going. Otherwise, get a power bank that has a small cable built in.
- ghaff 4y agoI found the lack of swappable batteries somewhat irritating at first. But these days, for the relatively few times when I run low on juice I'd rather just use an external battery pack than carry a bulkier phone around all the time. And as you say, with inductive charging, there are pretty unobtrusive options.
- thescriptkiddie 4y agoMagnetic inductive charging has an efficiency of <50%, so now the battery has to be twice as big and your phone gets really hot in your pocket.
