In the case of phones lasting twice as long may not be a good thing. There are many phones out there that are old enough they don't have 5g which is standard even on the cheapest phone now. All 3g phones are junk today because no towers exist they can talk to - probably no phone left as 3g, but plenty of cars are still 3g only and thus cannot phone home (farmers paid to upgrade their tractors because they find their tractor calling home useful - the radio itself was designed to run for 50 years, but it was still obsolete)
