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

good, but i am afraid they will just find another way to artificially shorten the length of a phone life.

They do that already. From my experience with Samsung phones is that after 2 years they start reboot or off sudden, HTC (RIP) sometimes misses some incoming calls.

After we moved from vacuum tubes to transistors, electronics got more robust, but apparently that doesn't apply to smart phones.

Alright hear me out. Apple will comply to the letter of the law, but now suddenly iPhone batteries are disposable. Of course only Apple can charge them, and you must buy them in packs.
