Right and that's great in a climate controlled environment with wifi or strong cell signal. It's an entirely different beast when you are out, it's over 85, and your phone is constantly trying to find a signal. It ultimately doesn't matter if you are using your phone or not. If it's on the battery is being nuked. This isn't just some random opinion, this is how battery powered electronics simply work in the extreme heat and cold

Right but only helps you if you were at 100% and turned it on before you started out on whatever you are doing that would warrant an emergency satellite phone. In reality, you drove out to where ever, used the phone for directions, and now the phone is down to about 60% by the time you start. Being out in the hot/cold kills your battery while it constantly tries to find service. And before you know it your battery is at 10%. A garmin inreach in its most battery-heavy mode and conditions will last for 2 full days. If you are going for full battery saver mode it can be ready to use for a full year.

Actual context. Kyle Larson made a low pass on Kevin Harvick and Bubba Wallace. Kevin Harvick backed out but bubba kept racing. Kyle Larson took the turn too fast and had to move further and further up the track. Bubba ran out of track and made contact with the wall. He then turned back down the track and hit Larson in the right rear spinning his car and taking him out of the race. After both cars were wrecked Bubba got out of his car and walked down the track to yell at and shove Larson.
