    cell phone batteries are notorious for going flat at the worst possible time...the melenial crowd forever on facebook or swiping left right n sideways all take their toll . we had call out the other week,the fella managed to send out a single location ping to his dad the next morning allowing us to get to him quickly.... that was possibly the only txt he had left in phone...
    No different from any piece of equipment if it takes enough of a hit so I'm not sure what the point is? Also, define major dunk? as I'm pretty sure most iPhones from 10 up are IP rated to over 6 mtrs for 30mins. Don't quote me on that though.

    However, if you are stupid enough to leave home with a non-charged phone and/or spend all day scrolling on it rather than hunting, you are the problem, not the phone.

    I'm not sure how anyone can see this is anything other than a good thing?
