    Had to replace my previous phone due to bad battery.

    Kept it safe, used cover and screen protection, but the battery got so bad it was not mobile anymore.

    Now? Now all the complexity that went into making the phone is e-waste, what a shame.

      Exactly! It bums me so much that the vast majority of the money you spent buying the device and of the money spent making the device is completely thrown out because you can’t replace a little component that was perfectly replaceable 10 years ago… 🙄

          But they stopped including chargers so it’s basically carbon neutral now! /s

            Well, the chargers were at least a step in the right direction (though probably with the focus more on consumer friendliness than environmental impact).
