I kid you not, my wife is still using her iPhone 8 because recent phones haven’t been worth the upgrade. Battery life is a regular issue but otherwise nothing makes her want to stop using it.
More expensive phones also mean the price difference between buying a new the battery and buying a new Phone is higher^^ I might actually go for the battery one day, so far I’ve always just bought a new one every 3 years (currently 12 Pro), this year would be the year again. But I don’t feel a strong urge to upgrade and it’s already hilariously expensive so I’m having a hard time justifying it.
EU is working their way towards forcing all handhelds to have “easily replaceable” batteries by 2027.
Hopefully this will be good news globally in this regard.
Not sure how that would work. I could imagine they’re already as replaceable as they can be while being in a water proof phone.
