True, of course the simplest and easiest solution is the one that takes the least amount of thinking and effort.

My only issue is there are brands that try to build around this but it's incredibly difficult. I understand iPhones have some kind of smart charging that's supposed to charge slowly but stop until it learns when it thinks you'll need it and finish charging just before then. However, that relies on consistent data and consistent routine and I would think that could potentially be quite inaccurate if you have a more inconsistent routine. I don't think I've seen a better implementation yet unfortunately.

It's just become second nature to me to watch for and charge my phone so certain times. I feel like that's just a part of owning a mobile device.

Yeah, thats kind of my point. Plugging your phone in every night when you go to bed is a pretty natural and low thought way of charging any electronic device
