    Yeah, that’s been my whole experience surrounding people being upset that batteries aren’t able to be replaced in phones anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s a good habit, but I’ve never had a phone long enough for the battery’s life to degrade to the point where that degradation was more than mildy noticeable.

      It can also depend on the device. I’ve had smaller devices and have had to charge multiple times a day. After getting a bigger phone with a bigger battery. I simply don’t think about it anymore. I imagine my phone dying before the battery does or even if it does, I’ll pay for a replacement if needed. I’d rather not stress in the day to day.

      Maybe that says more about your phone consumption than battery life.

      I try not to buy a new phone every year and I can tell you, after 3-4 years, the batteries are very noticeably dying. My last two phones (nexus 4, moto z play) both were replaced due to failing batteries, since replacing them is almost impossible (I couldn’t even find replacements that I would call trustworthy).

      My usage was not super unusual, and most days I plugged them in over night and that’s it.
