    sounds cool.

    I want to say “what’s the catch” but I’m also tired of being alert all the time

    Thats really awesome. I hope we also get replaceable batteries so our phones can actually last 8 years.

      Easily replaceable batteries.

      I have a 2017 phone I just put a battery in for $10. They’re replaceable, just not without tools.

    Goes to show the different standards for different device types. MS is getting a beating out of stopping Windows 10 updates for some users after a decade.

    I want to say I get why and that my phones cycle faster than my PCs, but these days I’m not sure that’s the case.
