minus-square@rab@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish6•11 months 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-square@ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•11 months agoYou can. It cost $15 every three years to have someone replace the battery for you or you can spend the hour doing it yourself.
minus-square@ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish5•11 months 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.
