Proximity to a charger isn’t the answer. I’m home all day, but I still don’t want to be monitoring battery life all day or tied to chargers. I only want to change while I sleep.

I have a 16 Pro and every so often something runs in the background that destroys my battery in half a day. I still don’t know what it is. The settings don’t make it clear.

I haven’t complained about the battery life on the Air, but I’d rather have a bigger battery to the point of eliminating the camera bump, than having a marginally thinner phone that shoves everything in a bigger relative bump.

Something running in the background is a software issue. Trying to solve that by throwing more hardware is the most expensive least efficient way to solve your problem

Upgrading to a bigger battery won’t solve whatever is draining your battery

While that is all true, it does give more time to realize what is going on, so I can address the issue, without leaving me in a bad spot.

On days with normal battery usage, how is having more battery life ever a negative? Long travel days, which may also have heavy map usage, leave users outside of normal patterns and often with unpredictable access to charging. Having a long battery life would ease stress around those days and be preferable to carrying a battery bank.

		Those days are not the norm. So having a heavier phone 90% of the time so that 10% of the time can be less stressful is not efficient. Just attach a magsafe battery pack those days and you have full day battery life.
