How long do you keep your phone before buying a new one? It is based on this article that especially Apple fanboys, buy a new phone every year when the new one comes out.

you either did something wrong, or need to stop overpaying apple for iphones. i've never heard of batteries being this difficult on regular ones.

Judgemental much? Stop being a dick. You need to understand that every body has reasons for doing the things they do, and has different experiences.

Up until 2021, I wasnโ€™t allowed an android device for work. I got, and still get, an allowance for bringing my own device.

Obviously, you have never had to have an apple device repaired in Australia.
