If you leave the wallet at home and lose the phone or it fails, then you’re still with no documents or cards. Just because it never happened to you doesn’t mean it can’t happen. I got in a car crash when I was returning home from my job and the phone got destroyed. I was able to be identified and my family located because I was carrying my wallet with ID, national security card and driver’s license. It’s an extreme case, but it can happen. It could also fall in a bad way and get damaged… I’ve seen too many phones (fortunately not mine) decide to fail their user in the worst moment to trust them exclusively.
Yes. But you said that you can leave your wallet at home, hence leaving all your documents on it and carrying just your phone. You can get involved in a car crash without driving by being a passanger or simply someone walking on the street or biking.
They don’t, until they do. Or until you drop them and fall in a bad way and break, or until you forget them somewhere or lose them. I mean, I don’t really care, you do you; but you seem really hostile to the idea of carrying a small wallet with your cards while trusting everything to an electronic device that might fail for no apparent reason.
I already got once in a situation where my phone died and having my cards with me made the whole ordeal way easier than if they had to figure out who I were without any kind of id. I really hope you don’t ever get in one.
If you lose your phone, you lose everything tho.
Not necessarily. I can detach the phone wallet and leave it at home if i want.
Also why would i lose my phone?
If i misplace it at home, i can use find my to ring it. Can’t do that with a wallet.

This is why you always have to carry physical ID when you’re driving.
Yes it has happened to me before. Just less often than losing my wallet when i used to have one that didn’t attach to the phone.

That’s not your responsibility though. The hospital will still treat you at the ER
You can also be hit by a meteorite.
But it’s unlikely, just as it is unlikely for most people to need physical cards.
Where do you live that you think you have the same odds of getting hit by a meteorite than of getting hit by a car while crossing the street?
Again, if your phone fails, how do you pay? How do you get identified? Without physical cards?
I have no need to be identified usually. And phones don’t tend to suddenly fail.
