Every single Pixel upgrade I made - every single one - in the last decade has been because of battery life.

This law will be tragic for Google and Apple. What will compel people to upgrade their functional phones?

There was nothing stopping you (and others) getting the battery swapped previously for a fraction of the price of a new device.

Yeah this is what I don’t get. People are actually blowing hundreds of dollars on new phones rather than having Apple (not the cheapest option certainly) replace the battery for $89

You make it sound like a large number. I’m keeping iPhones for 4 years now and upgrading because of cameras. Are pixels really that bad?
