It has been my experience over and over again that having a mix of engineers and business folk, does not lead to the business folk getting the engineers to do what they want. Which is why we see so many things built in Excel and Access - th

I’d go with summarized, perhaps with a link. That’s what you are supposed to do if an article you want to link to has a horrible (but not link-bait) title. In this case it has horrible design, it’s no so different.

I do think that people buy new phones when they break, or become unusable. And that does seem to be 2-3 years on Android, but iPhones last longer - and with battery replacement, which this year has made very popular, they last even longer.
