Weird, I’ve only replaced a battery on one phone, my wife’s Samsung S3. Here’s my history with phones:
ghetto feature phone - switched for better features and different service
fancier feature phone - had a qwerty keyboard and everything; hinge broke, and I wanted a smart phone
smart phone - went through the wash and shattered the screen
power button stopped working, and the screen was cracked
my current phone
That accounts for about 15 years of phones, so about 3-4 years per phone (I had the first for a year). I didn’t need to replace the battery on any of those phones.
I’m more interested in longer software support. My smartphones all stopped getting software updates after 2-ish years, and that’s a pretty big deal to me.
