    I personally don’t understand the purpose of this law. I’ve never discarded a phone due to battery issues (iPhone user). It’s usually just been a slow device, sometimes due to a failing charging port or 3.5mm Jack. I’d rather have the opportunity to replace ports, screens, and buttons.

    Do any of you guys experience issues needing a battery replacement that often?

      Yes, I had to replace battery on 2-3year old iPhone 4S several years ago. And also had battery issues after 3 years on my previous android phone.

      Once replaced the iPhone battery on a non apple approved repair shop, it wasn’t good for long. Whatever it was due to the repair shop putting a cheap battery or Apple scumbagery I have no idea.
