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

You know you can get the battery replaced, right? Not as cheap as buying a replacement yourself, but not that much compared to a 1000$ phone.

I'd also say an $89 battery replacement is pretty much the cheapest option (barring aftermarket batteries), especially if you don't care about the developments in the latest phones.
