>people blame the phone rather than replace the battery.

If their phone doesn't have a replaceable battery then blaming the phone is correct.



No, it's simply not. Not when the battery can actually be replaced for $49. The battery is replaceable.


The opportunity cost of having to look up a vendor store, go there, and wait an hour+ for them to replace my battery may as well be infinite.


Which is about the same thing for an iPhone? Apple stores don't magically replace batteries in seconds. On my iPhone 6s, I had both a bad battery, and a defective display - took 7 hours to get my phone back after scheduling an appointment at the Apple Store.


iPhone batteries should be user-replaceable too. Maybe with a pair of screws instead of a clip.


That’s bullshit. I guess overturning cost for repairing a car is also infinite by that logic.


It is. I hate getting my car repaired. Now that I work from home, if I didn't already own a car, I very well might not buy one.


Once per 3 years?!
