Keep seeing these things and wonder who uses them and why? I've never had anything die completely in years of using phones, computers, iPads, etc...
Assuming one has the ability to plug in to a 110v source each evening (to recharge their whatevers), what $100 purpose would this serve?
RayFBrand has nothing to do with it most apple and android phones have very similar mAh it depends on the ussge of the phone and data consumers apps on the phone. Making a hasty generalization based upon the brand of phone the sign of a not very intelligent person.
RayFYou must be a moron yourself. Most people who uses Apple are the ones that often crave and cry for one of these.
Even so, have you ever ran a small tablet laptop full power so that you can analyze stats with RStudio?
RayFI live in an area that's prone to power outages. I have several UPS's, and something like this could be useful to power a fan or keep a light on.
Granted this unit costs more than what I paid for my 1800vA UPS's, and I could make a backup unit with a few deep cycle batteries and a 800w power inverter I have laying around for about the same price.
RayFYou must not use your phone much! These are a lifesaver for people who use their phones a lot during the day and keep their phone forever instead of buying a new one every year, getting a new battery.
chorsesI use my phone from sunup to bedtime; I make and receive calls and text messages, run applications in the background--and occasionally to respond to people like you, who obviously use lessor phones. My iPhone 8Plus is an antique by now (2 or 3 years old) and I've only charged once since I bought it (last-year some time). It's currently showing 83% charge and I'm presently re-watching my complete collection of Lord of The Rings movies--as we speak.
RayFNo, as I've never played that before, it would never occur to me to accuse anyone else of doing so or not. Chill out and stop being grumpy that people with older, more used phones find power stations useful.
