Batteries on phones are ridiculously poor. On a top level smartphone if you stream video or multi task like playing music and browsing the internet you'll be done within a couple of hours. Carrying three or four batteries around with you for a days travel is just a daft idea.
It seems like the Moore's law for processors is ahead of the curve of batteries. Give it another couple of years and you'll have phones that last an hour and no more. The rollout wireless chargers should be pushed if they cannot do anything with battery technology. If there was a wireless charging pad on every work desk, bus, train, plane, restaurant and coffee shop it might not matter so much.
I can assure you that carrying in a pocket very thin and light batteries with a user friendly phone,like my Samsung, is NOT a daft idea, since it has come to my aid on many an occasion.
Go with Apple and you deserve all you get.
I rotate three batteries and use a wall charger as well as the normal charger and I never run out of juice. Perhaps you should try it before dismissing it.
Graphene is a possible way forward for high capacity batteries they say.
Don't know when though.
I'll still carry a spare even then.
