      It would be more realistic if they made batteries easily swappable. If I could just pop off the back of the phone and swap a battery in 20 seconds I’d keep that phone forever.

        Back in my day, you don’t need 20 seconds to replace a battery. And battery is not just replaceable, but also interchangeable. Multiple phone models could be using the same battery, making it cheaper and more available.

      Me.

      Honestly, who doesn’t? And, importantly, what does the demographic of one-year phone people tell us?

      5 years and still going strong. Not planning to replace any time soon.
