Hey Connor. If you barely watch, switching to a single bundle rarely fixes it because no bundle covers everything. The common bundles are Disney+ with Hulu, or Paramount+ with Showtime, and none include Netflix or Max. If your must-watch shows live on Netflix or Max, moving to one bundle means losing them unless you rotate. What worked for me was dropping to the Disney+/Hulu bundle for background stuff and then turning on one premium service for a month when a season drops. That cut my bill from about 68 dollars to 32 dollars on average, and I still saw the shows I cared about. Do a quick audit. In each app, open your watchlist and write down the few shows you truly plan to finish and which months new episodes arrive. Turn off auto renew in the account or billing page for everything today, keep only the bundle that covers the most of your list, and set a calendar reminder three days before each renewal. When a must-watch season lands on Max or Netflix, resubscribe for one month, binge it, then cancel the same day so it does not auto renew. Use ad tiers to save a few dollars, and only buy an annual plan for the one service you use every single week.

Stop hoarding, pick one cloud and nuke duplicates weekly.

For phones it is straightforward. If the phone supports PD or PPS you get fast speeds and if it only does a brand specific turbo mode it will fall back to normal PD levels which is still plenty safe and usually quick enough for travel. No big deal. The nice thing is you can plug in without thinking about it. The worst case is you do not get the fancy extra wattage label on the box, not that anything gets damaged.
