If you type the letter “i” and it autocorrects to an “A” with a symbol

On another practical point: isn't your battery completely shot by now?

I've never seen a phone where it isn't obviously somewhat impaired after 2 years, so what is it like on something that's 3 to 6 years old? Or do you get it replaced often?

I tried to buy a replacement battery, but that expanded dangerously until I noticed marks coming from behind the screen, so I popped open the case to have a look and promptly removed it.

I use a Third Rail case, so I can recharge easily. I don't use 3G, and all my apps work offline.

One of the reasons I still like my phone is because of that case. I wish there was something similar for another phone. The external batteries also have microUSB in and out, so I can charge friends' phones too.

I had a Nexus 4 from 2013-2016 (so three years) and now have a OnePlus One (for 1.5 years now), and I didn't observe any loss of battery capacity on either.

I would assume replaced often.

But replacing, not getting it replaced. At least on my 5 it is a few screws worth of work to swap.
