Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won’t anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

    Has anyone else always had a spare phone battery in the pocket to swap on the go?

    Imagine you could just do that.

      You can carry around an external battery pack with any phone. It’s not quiiiite as convenient because you have have your phone plugged in and that can sometimes be awkward to carry. Though it does avoid the need to power cycle your phone and my battery pack can charge my phone several times (and can charge multiple devices).

      Honestly, best purchase I’ve ever made. It’s so stressful having a phone die and the battery pack keeps that from happening.

      Never had that. I used to carry a power bank on longer hikes though. Has a few pros over a replacement battery (multiple recharges, device independent, not as flimsy etc.) at the cost of being bulkier.
