          Everything fails. Do you know how many times I’ve forgotten my wallet various places? My phone just fails less.

              How is it a bigger risk? Two things = two things to lose. Especially since the tile in the wallet is worse than find my in the phone.

                Ever heard of the saying “never put all the eggs in the same basket”? It’s harder to lose two different things at the same time than to lose one. You might lose your wallet but keep your phone or viceversa, but it’s way more difficult to lose both at the same time if they are in separate pockets. Also, paper documents work even if they get damaged, a phone might not.

                  I’ve heard of it, but have you heard of minimizing an attack surface? Your overall risk goes down if you can minimize it.

                    You can’t make a phone smaller than it is. You are putting all your eggs on the same basket. You lose one, you lose everything. And, as I said, losing is not just forgetting it somewhere. You can drop it without noticing, you could get pickpocketed, you could damage it accidentally… You do you, but you are not minimizing the risk by having everything important on the same place and trusting your everything to one single item.
