The best part of getting a new phone is the new battery.
- testfrequency 2y agoEvery year I miss the iPhone 4 more and more. That phone was so easily fixed and well designed to replace parts. I think I’d cry a little inside if Apple made a modern iPhone 4 again
- tapoxi 2y agoAfter buying a Framework laptop and realizing it even comes with the only tool you'd ever need to upgrade or repair it, I would absolutely buy a Framework phone without question. Just give me stock Android and midrange performance. If I can easily replace the screen and battery and upgrade the mainboard in a few years, I'll be totally happy.

- dangus 2y agoThe iPhone 14 (and I assume 15) does have lower repair pricing and a more repair friendly design than its predecessor. https://www.pcmag.com/news/ifixit-apples-iphone-14-is-its-most-repairable-in-years https://www.pcmag.com/news/ifixit-apples-iphone-14-is-its-mo...

- sschueller 2y agoThat is terrible because a new battery could be installed on an existing phone but Apple and others make it so hard and costly that many just get a new phone. I miss the old days were I could just buy a battery and dump it in my phone. Those devices were not water tight but neither is my current smart phone. A laptop has zero excuse for not having a removable battery.
