I’m surprised the market allowed it to get this bad. I understand there are a lot of people who buy a new $600.00+ phone every year whether they need it or not, but the rest of us need things that last.
I searched for a phone with a replaceable battery. I couldn’t find anything viable. I ended up buying the cheapest phone Samsung sells. I am assuming any of these current batteries will render their phone useless in 2–3 years. Since I will have to replace the entire phone I bought one that is cheap to replace.
I don’t know what I would do if I needed my phone to run lots of bloated apps.

Because most of them don't buy the phone they pay monthly installments towards it with their phone service.
To them it only costs $15 a month not $600 over the next 40.

Sadly this will only work at preventing people from having to buy phones so often if security updates for 10+ years are mandated at the same time.
Otherwise manufacturers will just use limited time security updates as the lever to force people to upgrade their phones.

Yeah, hope the support is next on the list. I have a a 5 year old phone, it's perfect but out of support

Only relevant if you buy stuff or make financial transactions on your phone. I use a desktop for that.
