npub1hvzjvzfmclu5l5zk65fxye5cgt7e0qvs6rcn60z72v9hy79mmpzq4qmle9 (npub1hvz…mle9) I'm still not sure how a backup phone would work, especially for modern iPhones that use E-SIMs instead of physical ones. If the power goes out and your primary phone dies, your backup phone can't be activated, even assuming it was kept charged. Granted any cell phone in the U.S. must be able to call 911 regardless of cell activation, but for anything else, you need an active SIM. Even if your primary has a SiM card, swapping to a new device often doesn't work smoothly.
