    And the removable battery was really awesome. Being able to turn your phone off completely in just 10 seconds without any tools. Or pop in a spare one and have a fully charged phone on the go.

      Also maybe I’m paranoid but it’s really nice to know you can turn the phone completely off.

        Yeah. This is also my opinion. I don’t trust phones to be completely disconnected when there is no physical switch, just a button that has to be pressed.

      The replaceable battery has less and less appeal toe with those crazy 120 watt chargers. A good power bank can replace that functionality quite a bit IMO.

        I don’t care about fast charge times. I do care about my battery life significantly shortening after one year.

          My old Xiaomis never had that problem 🤷🏼‍♀️ guess I was lucky, hoping it’ll continue like that 😁!

          I heard iPhones are crap when it comes to battery life and batteries in general, but that’s just what I have heard.

            I was speaking to the fact that I cannot replace the battery after one year.

            It’s a Lithium Ion problem. There are a limited number of recharge cycles.

            On average, after one year of charging every day, your smartphone battery will be at 80% its original capacity.

              Yeah maybe 80% is then way more than I need today. Computers are getting more efficient.

              But actually it’s not at all 80% after 365 charge cycles, that is just lying. Battery tech is also improving but never had it been 300-400 charging cycles to even 90%

        i don’t mean this in a mean way, but I think you forgot how good replacing a battery was and got Stockholm syndromed into liking non replaceable batteries lol

          I sure do remember and it was useful because the gps drained the 3000mAh battery like crazy, and using the phone even moderately needed battery nr 2.

          Today I don’t need to recharge my phone more than nightly, with the rare being sick and watching 12 hours of YouTube in a row, but then I can charge my phone from 10% to 90% in under 20 minutes sooooooo… WAY less important for me.

          And you sure did mean it in a mean way, otherwise you’d just stuck with your opinion instead of trying some low level insult of my mental state.
