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.

Because not everyone has the same anecdotal experience as you?

[–] Brkdncr@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I manage around 200+ mobile devices and battery life isn’t an issue that comes up.

So probably work devices that sit idle for 8+ hours a day before being shut back off and thrown into a backpack overnight/weekend?

[–] Brkdncr@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wish. Most are their primary device for work and personal use.

[–] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How old are those mobile devices?

[–] Brkdncr@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

iPhone XR for myself, and most are 11-13. We regularly have to replace older devices as they reach EOL/EOS.
