Changing Android phones is a pain in the ass. You realize when you have experienced migration from an iPhone before, as they have managed to create a decent smooth process. Also, the new policy brands are embracing of keeping the price but taking away most of the accessories such as the charger, headphones, screen protector and so on is not too smart, can you imagine getting a new car with no replacement wheel? would they also tell you to use your old car?

Then battery life. I remember a few years ago when you could easily open the phone and replace the battery, you can still do but you first need a screwdriver and sometimes they make it not easy using special screws. iPhones also have this policy.

I know more than a smartphone, what we carry is a mini-computer but still, I hope sooner or later manufacturers come up treating better their customers. Maybe what we need is a decentralized DAO launching an integrated hardware/software smartphone offering you continuous savings for usage, for additional accessories, for phone replacement, and for Smurf-pixie sales attendant doing the migration for us :)
