    The battery has been the first to fail in every phone anyone in my family has had. As long as you take care of your phone and aren’t one of those bootlickers who buys a new phone every year, that is likely the case for you too. I was able to get 6 years of performance life out of my old phone by simply swapping out the battery every few years. This is a huge win for opponents of planned obselecense.

      That’s fine and all. And you should be able to replace the battery.

      I just don’t want the compromises that I suspect are required to get to one that’s easily swapped out like in the 2010s. I don’t want to lose MagSafe, water resistance, or capacity. For me, those are more important than easily replacing the battery.
