for me this is a feature: not having to think about or doing the effort of putting the phone in the charger every single day? I'll sign for that. (it's also marginally cheaper since you don't waste elektricity if using the charger only once a week vs every day. And it makes it useful in countries not having power everywhere)

- micampe 14y agoI think you are referring to this study: http://blog.opower.com/2012/09/how-much-does-it-cost-to-charge-an-iphone-5-a-thought-provokingly-modest-0-41year/ http://blog.opower.com/2012/09/how-much-does-it-cost-to-char... Which has the iPhone 5 at $0.41/y, the Samsung S III at $0.53/y and the iPad (model unclear, but I guess the 3), at $1.36. I agree with your point though: the electricity cost of these devices is already negligible, an e-ink display wouldn’t make much of a difference.
