I 100% agree with the fact that there needs to be more phones you can easily fix but every time I see a headline like “I need a phone I can fix” I can’t help but think that y’all are incredibly clumsy and keep breaking your phones far too often 😅
No… You need a phone you can fix if you don’t break your phones all the time. That’s how you use the same phone for 6 years, like my pixel 4a. I haven’t upgraded to another pixel because the newer ones all have some deal breaker, no SD card slot, or a non removable battery, or no 3.5 mm headphone port.
But if you keep a phone for 6 years, they need maintenance. A speaker stops working, the battery life drops to nothing, the touch screen digitizer fails, etc. And then you need to be able to open it up.
Agreed on all counts. Also, I truly miss my 4a. I kept it for nearly 5 years until Google killed it’s utility with that update despite claiming that my IMEI was excluded by the battery issue/payout offer.

That is actually a very fair point!
I have gone through 2 batteries and a usb port instead of three phones
