batteries and screen damage are the only things that make me replace a phone at this point. if I could meaningfully get affordable repairs for this two things, I'd be on the same phone for a decade.
My current phone is a Galaxy S10, I found out the hard way that screen replacements are half as expensive as just buying a new one. I've replaced screens on previous phones myself for like $20 with little issue, but I think because of the beveled edges you have to replace the screen and digitizer together which is close to $200. So now that's going to be another thing I look for when it comes time for my next old phone.
It’s a shame the screens are shit. I was very against cases for a while but bought an otterbox for this one and I’ve been on the same iPhone 6 now for 3 years I think?
mines in a case and has a few cracks despite only being a year and a half old lol. I'm just a clutz. I think I'm gonna start shelling out extra for repairability when I replace this one. it's gotta be cheaper than replacing phones every 2-3 years.
