Nevermind all the disposable junk that it creates. And people at the same time complain about the lack of respect for the environment.

That's why I try to buy used phones when possible, and repair them when seemingly wrecked to eek out a bit more life (going as far as re-flowing BGA ICs and bypassing damaged PCB traces with enamel wire).

The LG G6 was a great phone to buy used, and it's not too horrible to open up to repair. Probably has something to do with LG giving up...
