    My wife does this in bed, doom scrolls with the brightness up so high it literally wakes me up, and then wonders why she has a hard time sleeping.

      Here it’s not an older people thing but a foreigner thing for some reason. I wonder if it is culturally more acceptable in some places (and some part is explained by video calls)

        Got an Italian neighbor that does that (along other disruptive things). Goes out on the balcony with either a show/movie or phone call blasting on speakers while smoking the most disgusting/cheapest cigarettes known to man. How are you 20 something and not know what earphones are??

        Mind you, I’m a foreigner here, too, but I wasn’t raised by wolves.

      I see a lot of younger people doing this in my area. I never understand it. They’ll be driving newer cars that surly have Bluetooth but they still hold their phone up to their mouth while they drive with it on speakerphone.

      I do this 😅 I have a hard time with phone calls and for some reason it makes it much easier for me to process what’s being said, or maybe its just more comfortable, I dunno

      My preference is headphones, but if I don’t have headphones I’m putting it on speaker unless I’m in a shared space with an expectation that I not just have my call broadcasting to everyone in earshot (not gonna be that guy at the grocery store or whatever)

      This is how I get almost 3 days out of an iPhone 13 mini:

      1. data safer on; certain apps blocked to use mobile internet as well.
      2. battery always in low power mode; this also prevent apps from doing stuff in the background
      3. wifi and LTE/5G/4G only on when I actively use my phone or cannot miss a reply I am waiting for
      4. lowest brightness setting as the base in a dark room and adaptive brightness from there
      5. no automatic app updates to safe on data plan and battery. updates only with wifi at home
      6. download favourite music instead of streaming (apple music can do that). hear music offline. do nothing else while listening to it.

    Or you just have a pixel :/

    Turn your brightness down and switch on airplane mode when on WiFi saves a lot of battery honestly. Also deactivate 5G it’s only use is to kill batteries. No one needs 5G on their phone 4G is more than enough.
