Imagine if you could easily swap a new battery in. Heaven.

Thing is, you used to be able to do that. Then they quetly took that option away.

I paid someone to replace the battery in my Samsung S10E. The battery was never good in that thing to begin with despite all my favorite tech YouTubers saying otherwise. Anywho, I think the repair shop must have gaevin me a bunk battery because it was worse than before. Got a pixel 7 last year. I definitely would have preferred to just be able to swap the battery myself.

I had the same experience. The repair shops use shit batteries

Usually pulled from another phone they practically got for free for parts and gives them great profit margins.
