Would rely on drop bags for most stuff but I'm not guaranteed to get as far as I'd need to each day. The alternative is paying 15 quid more for 3 more drop bags and a load of extra faff, just to save me carrying a toothbrush, toothpaste and 30g of travel sized suncream.
iPhone in flight mode during the day so that it can be used as a camera without draining batteries searching endlessly for a signal in the wilderness where there isn't one. Should last the entire ride without a charge but I don't want to be without it, hence the charger thingy. The battery pack thing and iPhone cable weigh 50g at most and will solve that problem. I'll change GPS batteries every day, whether spent or not, and dump the rest of the power from them into the phone each night (or during the day I can leave it charging in the rackpack). The ride notes say that there will be no power sockets available at controls, otherwise I'd take the normal charger thingy.
