It's probably a tie between wikipedia and flashlight.
The phone flashlight is absurdly useful to me. I think I end up using it almost every single day.
Another use that comes to mind is google lens. Really easy and quick translation, and it helps me figure out what various random items are called - thrifting finds or plants, for example.
If the phone flashlight is so useful, try carrying a legit flashlight for a while. They're loads better. I'd suggest one of the smaller offerings from rovyvon. Any of them are great, but I like the ones with two lenses and a rechargeable plus AAA battery compartment. It's the size of a car key fob, lasts a long time, charges over USB c, and goes from super dim to insanely bright.
Oh, I'm aware and I largely agree. I've got a nitecore Tini SS and it's both adorable and really useful.
One thing I've found extremely useful is carrying a small headlamp around - specifically a Nitecore NU20. Having hands-free lighting is so handy. Although, come to think of it, I wonder if I could modify the Tini to serve that purpose..
I use a petzl zipka for that. The headband is a retractable string, so it has no bulk, and it runs on aaas. I don't think they make them anymore, but you can still find them occasionally.
