Ya the only reason I get new phones is because the battery gets too weak. I could easily keep the same device for 5+ years if I could swap batteries
The only reason I get new phones is cos OS updates stop flowing. That happens way before I notice any battery degradation. This law solves nothing.
I'm an android guy but you can solve that problem by going iPhone if so inclined
Really? How long does Apple support iPhones?
Samsung and Google support their current generation phones for five years. Apple supports theirs for seven years from when they're last sold.
3 Major OS updates, 5 years of security patches
Wow that's a big plus for apple that I never knew about. Thanks!
I'm not sure but a lot longer than android
The fact is I prefer Android when it comes to phones.
On a pixel phone?
