    Good, the biggest reason I have to buy a new phone is the battery effectively dying. I’ve already decided that when my current phone needs to be charged at least twice a day then I’m buying a phone with replaceable parts, something like Fairphone. From experience my phone has at least 2, maybe even 3, years left so maybe by that time I have a lot more options to choose from.

    It’s always been absolutely crazy to me that a normally easy to replace part that has a known short lifespan would be moved deep in the bowels of the phone where you can’t get to it.

    This is great news, but I hope they also take steps to incentivise manufacturers to actually sell the batteries. Sure, you can get them on ebay, but the quality is variable.
