• Given the state of technology the battery decaying wasn’t the issue in my latest phones. It was performance of the device. Apps keep evolving and at some point your device just can’t keep up anymore.

    Went from a Moto g6 I think to a Pixel3 and now a pixel 6 pro. Batteries can be charged everywhere, CPU’s can’t be overclock without limits.

    • Going from Google-Android to LineageOS boosted the battery life of my old Smartphone by a factor 3 roughly. There where some Google-things consuming battery in the background, probably spying on me. Also using simple Apps from F-Droid helps to get a smooth experience.

    • In general, that’s definitely a problem too. Just look at Windows 11. Now M$ wants you to buy a new laptop such that their OS can run at all. I use a >10y old laptop with Linux. No performance issues for everyday use.
