Re: Support lifecycle still not up to Apple's standards
Yeah, I take your point. I'm probably going to struggle to replace the battery in my Pixel in 3 years.
However the choice is not between a Pixel 7 and an iPhone 6S, it's between a Pixel 7 and an iPhone 14... and the iPhone 14 is going to cost a LOT more than €60 to replace the battery.
So, the choice for me right now is do I slap down £800 for a Pixel 7 XL or £ 949 for an iPhone 14 which is probably going to be just as unrepairable, plus they threw in a Pixel watch. There's no way I'll have this phone in 7 years, probably by then one of my kids will be done with it.
Still, a bit more than 5 years of support would have been nice.
