We’ve all been there: Checking Facebook, getting directions, listening to an amazing podcast (ahem), when all of a sudden — bloop. Your phone screen cuts to black, and you are totally cut off.
Clearly, something has to change. On the latest episode of Too Embarrassed to Ask, Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode talk about how battery technology is improving (and why it’s not improving fast enough) with Re/code’s senior mobile reporter Ina Fried. They answer your questions about what’s ahead, and also how to get the most out of the battery you have now.
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions about batteries — remember that you can always send in questions about any topic to us by tweeting @LaurenGoode, @KaraSwisher or @Recode with the hashtag #AskRecode.
