Suica cards (and transit express payments in other regions) work after iPhone batteries die for a few hours.
- aqfamnzc 1mo agoAre you saying that an iphone can be used as a Suica card even with a dead battery? Or just that a discrete card still works when your phone is dead?
- Zee2 1mo agoiPhones still let you use certain contactless features (like Suica) even when the battery has "run out" (ie., the main OS has shut off). The reserve battery power is enough to run Suica, CarKey support, and FindMy.
- klausa 1mo agoI imagine there are only maybe three people as stupid as me to try this, but just in case: it works fine when the battery runs out; but it does _not_ work during the OS update process.
- ezfe 1mo agoInterestingly, but not exactly related - the OS update process will not start if you're connected to CarPlay. Probably to avoid automatic updates from triggering when you plug it in to charge in the car.
- SenHeng 1mo agoI don't know about the iPhone but the Apple Watch definitely doesn't work when the battery is dead.
