I guess because they're used to the current state of things where they are replacing their phones every 1-2 years for a newer shinier one anyway. Getting the newest shit regulaerly for them is a central point of using their phone status as personal validation.
Or they just like it? I'm far from the person you describe, yet I buy a new phone every year, simply because I like new phones.
Or they replaced it at a shop for $10. But yeah, I can't wait for shitty phones nectar you fuckers are too anti social to leave your hobbit holes.
Of fucking course you pay for the battery how is that a factor in the least bit? Gimme a general location and I'll find a shop for you.
I love these strawmen where people are buying iphones and don't have access to a repair shop. If that's a reality, you are on the slim minority.
Bullshit. Gimme a general location and I'll find a local shop to replace batteries for far less than $60.
So you know idiots? If they are dumb enough to 'save for a replacement ' while a cheap repair is available what makes you think they are going to take the time to figure out there batteries? You're pissed off with lazy wasteful people, not batteries.
