I would love HN to force people to explain why they are downvoting something.
Batteries fail after a while, it has been a constant for a very long time.
What has changed is that in many recent phones it is a pain to replace it yourself.
- oblio 9y agoMy guess is that the downvote was a sort of "offtopic" one: "yeah, we can't change the battery ourselves, c'est la vie, it's Apple, get over it, let's discuss the issue at hand".
- jsz0 9y agoNot even that much of a pain. Apple makes the batteries fairly easy to replace (with the right tools) to lower their own cost of warranty repairs, staffing, etc.
