    There used to be smartphones with rtc wakeup (ultra low power built in clock that can turn on the phone at a given time even when fully off) and its a fucking joke that this doesnt exist anymore. Why tf would i want my phone to be always on?

      As depressing as it sounds, the average user wants to get constant notifications, feedback, and the ability to instantly slide open social media in 2 taps, regardless of time of day.

      Plus, a ton of people charge overnight, not giving a shit about battery degradation.

        Isn’t that why most modern phones have an adaptive charging feature to trickle charge overnight to be full by morning/your alarm?
