I didn't realize people's phones actually broke down in less than 5 years, I thought they just upgraded because they wanted to.

I've had my Sony XZ2C since 2018 and I haven't had any issues. I'm sure the battery must have been better in the past but it easily lasts me the day, so I don't really notice.

I’ve been poor long enough that the phone companies have learned not to fuck with my phone. Whereas a richer person would respond to a remote nerfing by buying a new phone, I respond to a remote nerfing by cursing and battling through whatever simulated tech shade they throw my way. I think they just realized it’s not worth the effort as it will never result in me buying a new phone.
