It’s a great idea until the battery in your devices fail and you’re stranded somewhere with no ID, no way to communicate, and no money for a train ticket.

Is that any different from losing your wallet in the pre-smartphone era though?

Depends.

In pre-smartphone era I usually had an 'in case of emergency' bill tucked away in my ID, which was in other pocket than wallet.

wouldn't the proper comparison be to losing your phone in the current era but still having keys and wallet?
