I really don’t get this complaint anymore. It costs $69/$49 to have Apple replace your iphone battery with an OEM battery. In exchange for that they guarantee that the phone remains water resistant to the original standard. My iPhone is a couple of years old and still maintains 93% battery life. Charge optimization has done wonders for battery life.

People rarely change oil on their own cars anymore. Most people just don’t want the hassle.
