      People lie to themselves all the time to justify wasteful consumerism.

          The OnePlus 12 was released less than a year ago. It has 3 1/2 years of software changes ahead of it. You are proving my point here by implying a 7 month old phone needs to be replaced after a single bad update.

              That’s not what you said originally:

              unoptimized software starts crippling phones after 4 years

              So you admit that age is not actually the relevant factor here? Your complaint is bad updates, not the age of a device. And if bad updates are the problem, which you admitted they aren’t for you when you said you’d “never used a phone long enough for this to matter” then your claim that replaceable batteries are irrelevant is also nonsensical. It’s as I suspected: you’ve concocted some weird fictional narrative as a coping mechanism for the cognitive dissonance that comes with repeatedly replacing phones that are absolutely fine.
