    How is this a win? My non-Android device is at 89% health after 5 years. I’m not going to replace the battery, I’m going to replace the device.

    I’d prefer that we get paid $20 to recycle an old phone so that they actually get recycled.

      @Brkdncr @Roman0 Why not both?

      Easily replaceable for those who burn through capacity through heavy use. Which would also make recycling easier funny enough.

      And pushing to make recycling encouraged. These aren’t opposing ideas.

      Opposite boat. My perfectly good device gets replaced after about 4 years because it struggles to hold a charge. I don’t give a shit about iterative phone specs, and I say that as a tech enthusiast.
