I genuinely do not see how being required to manage a phone's battery is any more onerous a requirement to place on someone than keeping track of a key.
really?
you can predict how much you use your phone during the day? my key will never loose power, people calling me is something i can't control.
and control is the problem here. i can control that i will not loose my key. just as i can control that i will not loose my phone. and while i know that usually i can get through the day with a single charge, i can't predict that one day a year where that charge won't be enough. so just because of this unpredictability i have to go out carrying a backpack just so i can carry a powerbank. because my phone fits in my pockets, an extra powerbank requires me to have some kind of bag, in summer when i want to go out with shorts and a t-shirt. oh and what about my off-grid weekend trips where i don't get an opportunity to charge my phone for two days?
also, what about my kids who are to young to have a phone on their own?
requiring a phone severely affects my lifestyle in ways that i just don't want.
but i just realized what the solution to the power management is: every door that requires a phone needs to have a charger station right next to it. only that would really solve the problem of being able to make sure i can have a charged phone when i need to enter.
that still doesn't solve the other problems, but at least i can leave the powerbank at home now
