    Good to hear, but I don’t think I will have a phone for as long as six years, because for one thing the battery probably will have become unusable by then - they can only be charged so many times.

      You know you can replace the battery, right? Like, 10 minutes with some basic repair knowledge and you can have it done. I usually do a battery replacement on my iPhone ever 2 years just because it will inevitably slow down and the battery life becomes unusable.

        No way. You need more than 10 minutes and way more than “basic” repair knowledge.

        Iphones are by design extremely hard to repair.

        Proprietary screws, glued in components (which needs to be removed and reapplied) and battery management components which need to be resoldered to the new battery so that the phone accepts it.

        Its been a while since i have repaired an iphone but i doubt its gotten better.

        If you can do it in 10 minutes I will gove you 10 bucks though.

          I’m a former sysadmin (10 years) with 1 year spent working as cellphone repair prior to that. I could bang out batteries all day long for replacing. It’s not rocket science.

          Save your money. $10 doesn’t even cover my morning coffee.

            You misrepresent the time, tools and knowledge needed to do those repairs.

            “10 minutes and some basic repair knowledge” is still misleading even if you are a former sysadmin of 10 years.

            Enjoy your overpriced coffee!

        And that’s boring plus ruining the sealing
