Yeah, the number of short-sighted children in front of cell phones spending their parents' money is massive. Eh... I'm not entirely sure if I'd feel proud to boast about being part of it.

Samsung and Motorola offer 3-4 years of guaranteed software updates. However, in 3-4 years, the battery of any smartphone begins to degrade, and for some users, this may happen even sooner. Taking off the casing to replace the battery and using a patched device that has a high chance of failure during an important moment is impractical, Sorry. Brands should offer a discount on the purchase of a new device when you trade in your old device. This approach is the best way to reduce e-waste

If you are shopping among the Big 2, or buy from a good phone provider trade-in is legit. Direct buy from a Chinese brands though...

But I feel like you are being super overdramatic about battery replacement, though. Do you also buy a whole new phone if your screen ever gets damaged? I've replaced a phone screen by myself twice on a phone that I kept for 5 years and is still functional today as a backup device. Manual assembly by a human is still a big part of a modern smartphone assembly process

If that can reassure you, the EU is also about to deploy a new regulation about battery replacement.
