People who run remote machines usually have a way to remotely access the console (e.g. IPMI serial-over-lan, terminal server, virtual KVM, VM instance console etc).
The only exception is the retarded Amazon AWS which still doesn't have an interactive console. If AWS instance doesn't boot you have to mount its storage elsewhere to fix it or restore from a snapshot (really a lot of trouble).

If their 45% capacity increase estimates are accurate, you will not have to endure as many cycles per year, and for the average user not charging as often as you do, that will likely translate to a couple of years.

As I wrote , the major manufacturers tend decreasing the size and the weight of the phone instead of increasing battery capacity (there is some capacity increase only to accommodate larger power-hungry screens).

Comment 500 charges is not enough (Score 3, Insightful) 137

I'm charging my S8+ ~1.5 a day. 500 charges means that after just 1 year the battery is at 78% of capacity, What happens after 1.5 years?

Even for those who charge only once a day, 500 charges is ~1.5 years, which is less than the common 2-year lifespan of the phone.

Increasing the battery density probably won't help either, as manufacturers will again make thinner phones instead of increasing capacity.
