I have a normal Google Android phone that i noticed runs out of batteries so quickly even if turned off. So I did a quick experiment.
I removed the battery for a few days. Wouldn't you know it, the charge was exactly as I left it, unlike before. Makes you wonder what exactly that phone is doing using power while supposedly turned off.
Noticed some weird battery-draining patterns in the last month. Wondering if it’s Apple’s way of trying to get me to update the phone. I also have a flip phone that I can use a burner. I’d recommend having a back-up device soon if you can!
Burners don't work if they really wanted to get you. It's just an inconvenience for them so they pick on someone else.
