Like battery. Not a power bank but like on the phone itself. Does not have to be like permanent. Just a way to look like it belongs easily.
 
Charge it to 80% and pretend it’s at 100. The. Charge it to real 100% and pretend it’s 120%
 
You mean like 20 years ago when phones had removable batteries? You could walk around with a spare and just swap one in

Like the StarTac and its slim and chunky batteries!

I had one of those! Also had (IIRC) a black plastic PowerBook G3 that had a big bay with a removable optical drive. You could pop it out and replace it with a second big battery. I frequently did that, which meant it would run for something like 4 hours instead of the usual 2 hours on a single battery! 😄
 
I think in a few years the batteries will have to be replaceable because of new laws, so maybe it will come back. I’m not sure what Apple is going to do..
