The AirPods come with a charge case that holds 24 hours of juice. If you manage to end up in a scenario where your phone is out of power, your AirPods are out of power, and the AirPod case is out of power, that would be a fairly impressive bit of poor planning.

Besides, you can charge your phone and your AirPods at the same time, you just need to have two outlets (or two USB ports) and two cables.

Or you have better things to do than worrying about charging 2/3 devices when you used to only have to charge 1.

I wistfully remember the days when I could go away for the weekend and not have to take a charger for either my ipod or phone...

It sounds like you're describing something called "camping".

No I'm saying that 10 years ago one could go away for the weekend taking (and using) a phone and an ipod and not need to think to pack chargers.

What's stopping you from doing this now other than yourself?

I would want to actually use the device(s) to make calls, send messages and listen to music - not just carry them around flat and useless in my pocket.

No, I'm simply talking about a scenario where I want to listen to something but my headphones aren't charged.

In such a scenario, I have to wait 15 minutes.

Murphy's Law in this case means that the best outcome is to remove the possibility of poor planning by not having to juggle multiple devices that require you to plan your charging schedules around in the first place.

Isn't the point that you shouldn't need to 'plan' this at all. That's just extra mental load that isn't necessary.
