I just wish my phone would last as long as my PC does. Since they are getting closer and closer in cost.

Since I'm stuck working from home for the foreseeable future, I have been making a simple dough every Sunday and shoving it in the fridge. Then for breakfast or a snack I'd just fry up a flatbread with some spices.
It works really well, and the extra effort I put in this weekend to make a leavened naan bread dough was well worth it.
in the apple ecosystem this means: you. you are wrong. :bzz:
(these kinds of apple interactions are indeed super frustrating)
I always assume this to be the case, Apple Ecosystem or not.
Apple is still the company that told people they were holding their phones wrong when they put their internal antenna right where 99% of the world holds their phone, or instead of creating a sustainable, easily replaceable batteries for their hardware, accelerated the rate of e-waste and just starting throttling down their older phones.
They're definitely the kings of "you're wrong, customer."
The throttling thing still being a thing for people shows just how badly they handled that, because apple was 100% in the right with what they did there and the vast majority of people never would have noticed the throttling... but they sure as shit would have noticed their phone spontaneously powering off when the older battery was no longer capable of supporting the full brunt of all cores running at max.
But running articles that talk about how apple actually prolonged the life of the device and kept it out of the repair shop or upgrade cycle by letting it work longer with older batteries isn't a catchy headline.
The solution is to not make phones that cannot be repaired by design.
I don't feel bad they got raked over the coals for it. It's a shitty, wasteful design choice (and to be fair it's not just Apple, but they arguably popularized it) and no company should be lauded for their designs which result in thousands of tons of waste in landfills yearly.
I mean, they charge 49-69 bucks out of warranty, do the battery swap for you and can do it while you wait. They also do proper battery disposal/recycling.
Sure, there is some margin there for them but they are not raking customers over the coals for this from a cost perspective, and the phone resumes working at full speed immediately once it gets a fresh battery.
They could also just you know, make it replaceable.
There's no good reason not to make it replaceable anymore.
I think the design of the phones is the best they have been, the battery life is really good, and I am sure one or both of those things would be sacrificed at the altar of making the battery user replaceable... and to what, save 20 bucks at most on a thing you might need to do three years down the road on a 1000+ dollar device?
No.
It's to stop making tons of unwarranted e-waste every time you throw a phone away every 2-3 years because the battery is dying anyway and besides it's only $30 a month with Verizon so
You're thinking small.

Just for reference
Americans throw away 150 million phones a year. Because they're designed to be disposable and not fixable or upgradeable.

Two weeks ago I decided to not pull out the stand mixer and just make it by hand since they tend to be smallish batches, and that was a mistake I wont make again.
Me after my interview: I bombed. I fucked up
My boss after my interview (he was interviewing me): congrats, you impressed me!
This was me when I got my current position. I was legit telling people that I was 99% sure I did terrible and that there was no way I was going to be getting it.
When they called to make the offer I had to stop myself from saying "I think you may be confused and called the wrong number?"

The stand mixer is pretty much always worth using, unless you're doing sour dough or something.

If they had allowed for easy battery replacement, the entire thing would have not happened.
Or just you know, give the customer a warning instead of having a phone that's suddenly slow with no apparent reason why.
Which is why I said they handled it badly. What they did was a good thing, but it wasn't communicated well at all. They have since updated it to not only give that warning, but also let you check in on your battery health, and also turn off the throttling feature when your battery is getting older, at your own risk.
It was enough that I haven't bought an apple product since. And to be quite honest, the non apple cell phone and tablet I have now are at least as good as the apple cell and tablet i had before, and cost half as much.

It doesn't take much to make the battery replaceable. Apple has said the se about their laptops and yet a small company was able to make a laptop very close to the same size that's 100% user replaceable.
At the minimum just stop harassing repair shops and DRMing batteries

Apple's had customs agents seize shipments of batteries that would work in their products that they weren't getting.
You can like their stuff but also acknowledge, man, they are a bad fucking company. All major tech companies are bad fucking companies.

Nonconsumer facing portables are interesting, for example I've been using these Panasonic Toughpads for some custom stuff and while they're thicker than most consumer facing hardware, it is waterproof, dustproof, toolless battery replacement, and you can completely tear down the device with a torx screwdriver if you need to replace parts. It wouldn't even really be much thicker than an iphone with case if it weren't for the barcode scanner hardware. Apple and Samsung have just convinced consumers they want glued together bricks.

I just wish my phone would last as long as my PC does. Since they are getting closer and closer in cost.
I have had 5 cell phones in my life, I'm going to use my pixel 3 until it breaks or stops working
I don't understand buying new phones, they all do the same shit
I try to make them last 5 years. But that's gotten shorter as I've gotten more money and less patient for inconvenience.
I'm planning to switch out my Pixel 2 at the end of the year but I'm probably going to switch carriers too. T-Mobile's buyout of Sprint has not been that great for convenience of my service.

So, in addition to not feeling incentivized to make batteries user replaceable, it seems apparent that devices have been left much more easily damaged by water than their designs would otherwise require.

All things considered $3 (that will be coming right back into your store many times over) is a pittance not to have to deal with that someone.
