minus-squarerab@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down2·1 year agoYa the only reason I get new phones is because the battery gets too weak. I could easily keep the same device for 5+ years if I could swap batteries
minus-squarelorez@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year agoThe only reason I get new phones is cos OS updates stop flowing. That happens way before I notice any battery degradation. This law solves nothing.

minus-squarerab@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoI’m not sure but a lot longer than android

minus-squareShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down4·1 year agoYes. $15 and an hour. You can bring in your own battery or pay ~$60 USD for an official one. It’s all very easy. This law won’t change shit. People are still going to dump their phone every 2 year.
