    Repairing has generally been better than buying new for 98+% of cases in the last 5 years or so.

      Nah these glue shut phones are pain in ass. Phones need battery replacement after 3 years don’t want to go to a service center for a simple job.

        I didn’t mean in the sense that it’s been more practical. I was replying more to the idea that repairing being better isn’t dependent on a phone getting very light usage which is what they seemed to be impying.

        Very few new phone features released in the last 5 years or so add very much real value for very many people.
