Not sure if this is just me but on bigger tours my phone battery gets absolutely drained way faster than normal, or just shuts off entirely even when it says it still has 40-50% left.
Already running airplane mode the whole way up. Especially on colder days or anything multi-hour it gets pretty unreliable, and pulling it out at a transition or for a summit pic basically nukes whatever charge was left.
I've been keeping it in an inner layer closer to my body which helps a little, but still not super consistent. I also have the newest model iPhone.
Was wondering if anyone else putting in real days on the splitty runs into this or if it's just me.
Main thing I'm wondering is if it actually messes with your day (nav, checking the forecast, partner comms, summit pics, Strava) or if most people just work around it with a battery pack / inReach / etc.
