I never said they were equal. If I gave that impression, I'm sorry. My point was, given the advantages and disadvantages of each, I'd pick the power bank. I'd like to have both. I'd like to have SDcards, I'd like to have headphone connection. Hell, I'd like to have PCMCIA or PC Express or aaaaaanything internal. I'd also like a physical keyboard but not all battles can be won.

From memory, the new Total Recall is nothing compared to the original, even with the acting of Arnold. But that might be time colouring memories. But don't skip the original. Colin Farrel is awesome and amazing but the script is not decided by him.

Minority Report might feel a bit dated these days because so many stories have borrowed from it by now, but in its day, it was awesome. Must have watched it 20 times. Watch it, watch all the things you can based on stories by Philip K Dick, read his work and enjoy his mind.

I dont want Tom Cruise to get a single penny from me or my recommendations, but that movie is awesome!

When you do these things, does it matter to you if your battery sits at 3 percent (charging from a power bank) or 100 percent (switched in a new battery). Again, I'm not saying either is perfect but they both have advantages and I'd (personally) take the power bank over powering my device off, switching in a semi-proprietry battery I'm, turning the device on and getting a (presumed) 100 percent right away.

Once you switch device, those proprietary batteries are useless while the power bank travels with you. Again, neither is perfect. I'd like both options available.

I do. Highway is a solved problem with issues remaining. City traffic, I dont dare to claim solved but Chinese cars seem.pretty darn close. Accidents? Always. I trust it more than myself and I consider myself (as most people) way above average.

Does 3 percent or 100 really matter? If it does, I am wrong. Does it have downsides? Sure as shit. Everything does. I'm trying to wheigh upsides and downsides evenly. I agree, I miss some things. But easy of use, comparability, transferability, easability.... Nothing is perfect. SDcard, head-phone jack... No fair alternative so far.

Fair enough. But as far as streaming music options go, I'm not sure how much worse it is. But I respect your stance and in another world, I would share it.

She won't have unlimited storage. If she has'ish, other functions will degrade. Finite is as finite does.

As much as I miss user-replacable batteries, I'd argue, for your example, a non-device specific power bank (or five) is simply a better, more practical and less wasteful option. Especial if rechargable with standard usb-c and some sort of QI built in. I do miss microSD for a lot of reasons though.

May I suggest adaptive speed control.
