Our shop literally wasn’t allowed to purchase new iPhone batteries, because of US Customs. My boss had us using scrap batteries from spare parts devices, while still selling them off to customers as though they were ‘new’ batteries.
Any wonder why I quit in 2017? Wanna try again?

As far as smart phones, what, are you trying to defend planned obsolescence?
Seriously, if the old tech could last 8+ years, why should the new tech be so shitty to only last a few years or so?
Shouldn’t we be upgrading to devices meant to last 20+ years?

Well my definition of planned obsolescence is when they epoxy the battery into the phone. It’s a well known fact that lithium batteries will wear out in a few years or so…
The EU recently voted to make it law that phone batteries and such need to be replaceable in the future.
Like, why would you want a battery you can’t pull out or replace? It’s like the first thing to wear out, and the most dangerous part.

When Apple switched from aluminum to glass, they most certainly now do epoxy them together.

Also, Samsung isn’t even on my radar, F Samsung too. Samsung is most definitely not the only company that makes Android devices.

My roommate’s dumb flip phone lasted 8 years.
Thinking about framing the parts actually.
Only reason it quit working was because they shut down 3G service here.
