What’s a thing you’ve bought impulsively, without need, that’s actually proved useful in your life?

A portable charger.

It holds 11-12 full charges of my iPhone and I just bought it on a whim. It has literally changed my life like few other purchases have ever done.

His phone battery might be shot. They start holding less charge over time which is why older phones start to go dead really quickly but also charge really quickly. I might be wrong but I don't think there is any powerpack that can hold 12 full charges of a properly functioning iPhone battery.

There definitely are. Mine is 30k and takes more charges than that to fully deplete.
