    this is why i buy cheap 100 dollar phones with gigantic batteries in them. ive been using one for the past 9 years and its only just now starting to get too shit to manage (i avoid app updates because the increase in processor requirements can brick your phone, but sometimes you have to). im just sad they stopped removable batteries from being a thing, i have a feeling they knew it was affecting their bottom lines so they decided to make batteries small and hard to remove

    rn the problem with my phone is i have plugged the microusb in and out so many times that it has eroded the connector. what im gonna do to try to prolong the life of my next phone is im gonna get wireless charging on it to avoid having that issue.

        some of the new phones have better fast charging tech for it, but yeah, the reason mostly im thinking for it is im gonna grab it to extend the longevity of battery life because constantly having it getting a charge is good for the battery and can extend it for years and its a hassle to constantly unplug and replug it to keep the charge going. so if you really need it charged hardcore you should plug it in and leave it on top of a wireless charger for intermittent use later.

        generally speaking, your battery will last waaaay longer if you dont drain it to 0 all the time so keeping it above 50% by any means necessary is crucial
