    This is great news. Reduce e-waste by using your phone until it gives up.

      Only problem with this is if you don’t have a backup and your phone suddenly dies on you it can be kind of panic inducing. Especially since when I went to buy a new phone afterward, my bank wanted me to prove that I was the one using my own card with a text message…except I couldn’t do that because my phone was dead and wouldn’t turn on so I couldn’t verify it wasn’t fraud and I couldn’t buy the new phone. Lol!

      A shitty backup phone is def a good idea.
