So I suspect (as has been the trend over the last few years) that people
are keeping their phones longer and longer with each passing year.

Which is why I believe is the main reason Apple puts those el cheapo
terribly substandard laughably anemic batteries in all new iPhones.

All batteries of similar chemistry age similarly such that the smaller the battery capacity, the _sooner_ it will age below threshold.

Likewise, I believe a key component of Apple's strategy (and, let's be
clear, that of Samsung and Google who salivate over Apple profit margins),
is to make the battery as difficult as they can make it, to replace.

If you own the intelligence to comprehend what I'm suggesting, then you'll realize that what "kills" a modern phone nowadays... is the battery.

Apple isn't stupid. They know this. As does Google & Samsung.

The main difference is that Google & Samsung do NOT as a rule put those horrible el cheapo laughably anemic batteries in their flagship phones.

Only Apple does that.
