In 2010, you could change your phone battery in 5 seconds. Pop off the back cover. Pull out the old battery. Snap in the new one. Done. The battery cost 15 dollars. Your phone lasted another 2 years. Today, Samsung glues the battery inside. Literally. Industrial adhesive bonds it to the frame. To replace it, you need a heat gun, a suction cup, special screwdrivers, and a new adhesive kit. Or you pay Samsung 80 to 100 dollars for an authorized repair. Most people do not bother. They buy a new phone. That is the point. A phone with a replaceable battery lasts 4 to 5 years. A phone with a glued battery lasts 2 to 3 years because battery performance drops 20 percent per year and you cannot swap it. Samsung sells 260 million phones per year. If every phone lasted 2 extra years, they would sell 130 million fewer phones annually. That is 100 billion dollars in lost revenue. They did not glue the battery for waterproofing. They did not glue it for design. They glued it so your phone dies on schedule. Subscribe to TrueMoney.
