We did use them a lot less then. I bet if the screen on a standard smartphone was never used, as well as any third-party apps, the battery would last nearly as long, if not longer, than an older phone.
@DVDBZN@katbyter I used mine a lot. Not just to talk on the phone, but to play snake and hangman, not to mention texting (miss you, good ol’ T9!). But the resolution was crap, there was no color on the screen (and I still use my current phone more often all else being true); if it had the battery my iPhone does today, it would probably last months.
I think the lesson here is- we are saturated w chargers- please find some other cool thing to sell us. A solar powered portable time machine has been on my list for quite some time.
Well, there’s 6.24 x10^18 electrons in a Coulomb (or Ampere-second). Given a 3Ah battery (about typical for a new smart phone), I have 6.24 x 10^18 electrons/A-s x 3600 seconds/hour x 3 Ah = 6.7392 x 10^22 electrons. So I have at least 67,392,000,000,000,000,000,000 of those. That seems like a lot.
I have a USB cable. It can connect to various sources of power and charge my kindle or my phone; neither of which needs charging more frequently than twice a week and usually less.

Too many to count and more than a few of them courtesy of Meh.
Remember when your phone charge was measured in days or even weeks and not hours or minutes?
@katbyter I miss the Nokia phones too.

@katbyter Heh. I still have a flip phone I have to charge 3-4 times a year.
I don’t know if I own anything that can’t charge my phone

Do you include computers, speaker docs, power banks, and surge strips in the count? No matter, it’s more than 10 without all that other stuff.

This is a vast number. Perhaps even uncountably infinite. My tiny human brain can’t even conceive the size of it right now.
Did you really ask that here?
We’re mehniacs!
I voted “2.” I have many 5vdc power sources but only two usb-c cords.
