Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

Here's a thought, what if phones weren't made to be disposable?

It’s not an original thought, but one that no-one has been able to realize. Turns out tech moves forward, and people want the latest and greatest.

There's nothing I do on my current phone that I couldn't do on a phone ten years ago, technologically speaking. When I upgraded my phone recently, it was solely because of battery deterioration and because the previous model was out of service for security updates. I don't think I'm alone here.
