    What county do you live in? The ones made for the US can’t replace batteries.

    And no iPhone don’t hold value because they are the most reliable. They hold value because dick riders are too busy deep throating apple to look around.

    At one point it was so bad Apple users were discriminating because of text bubble colors. Nevermind the fact that Apple refused to update beyond basic SMS and that all other phones had the freedom to just change the damn color and not care

      I live in the US.

      I’ve replaced the batteries on two of my iPhones when they lost efficiency or the battery went bad.

      I replaced the camera module on my iPhone13 when the flash Led broke because of a shitty lens cover.

      In both instances I watched a YouTube video and did it, it’s not that hard.

      The text statement is kind of true several years ago, it sucked having Android users in group chats because iPhone text features make it easy to share images and video with other iPhones. Text protocols changed years ago between IOS and Android and it is a non issue.

      I used android for years, I had the OG Droid. There is nothing wrong with other smart phone brands but there is very little differentiating top phones anymore.

      The US.

      The ones made for the US can’t replace batteries.

      You can’t be serious lol. This is very naive and simply false. I’ve replaced over 100 batteries on iPhones and iPads without issue.

      Edit:

      And no iPhone don’t hold value because they are the most reliable. They hold value because dick riders are too busy deep throating apple to look around.

      Guess there’s no sense in continuing the conversation since facts aren’t going to matter much to you.
