Well that's your view and you're entitled to it.
"I've had the battery in my iPhone 6S replaced four times"
I've learned never to argue with an iPhone owner about such matters but I'll make an exception here which is the fact that the battery has had to be replaced four times only proves my point. What the hell's wrong with your phone or phone/battery combination? I still have an iPhone 3 and it still has its original battery - and it still works!
We each come from different worlds. The trouble is you've never been spoiled like me. I've owned a Nokia with a detachable battery: phone rings/vibrates, don't want to take call, hand in pocket, push battery release button, phone instantly dead. Disruption all over in seconds without others even knowing about it if the phone's on vibrate.
That's a real feature, as I have complete control. (Phones with sealed-in batteries cannot be turned off completely and the pseudo-off control takes forever to power the phone down.)
By definition, iPhone owners consider such a modus operandi as being inconceivable.
Incidentally, I can still achieve the 'Nokia' control on my Android phones that have removable batteries. Take the back/battery cover off the phone and discard it, stick a short tape to the battery to act as a pulling tag then pull tag when necessary.

Basically, with a fresh battery, my iPhone lasts just long enough to make through a day of heavy (for me) use. As soon as the capacity drops to the point where that's not possible, I like to get the battery replaced. I can turn my phone off without taking it out of my pocket by holding down the lock and home button for a few seconds, I’ve done that a few times.
- hilbert42 4y agoI know where you are coming from so I won't prolong the debate. I'd only add that it's excellent that you haven't succumbed to the regular phone upgrades that have become almost mandatory for some users. I agree, changing batteries is a cheaper and better option.
