My iPhone Died and I Couldn't Be Happier

Takeaway: My iPhone is dead and disconnected but I am not. I am now a man of 1990s telephony with late 'aughts connectivity. Pleasantly ironic in a digital age.


About 2 weeks ago my iPhone starting losing its ability to keep a charge. The battery would charge just fine, but within an hour it would be 50% drained. Epic battery drainage.

This rapid charge/rapid drain wasn't a big deal since I have iOS device chargers coming out of my ears. I have my iPhone, my primary iPad, my back-up iPad (used for testing settings, apps, etc), the iPod Nano I wear on my wrist, not to mention the 4 standard iPods my wife and I share (oh, yeah, she has an iPhone too). Having chargers handy isn't a concern...
