I would listen to you, but I was using my previous phone for 5 years and noticed no degradation in battery life. I only upgraded to this one because it was free.

Sorry man, maybe you're right and time will tell. But we'll just have to wait and see. This phone has a significantly larger battery, too.

If there was no degredation after 5 years and thousands of charge cycles, then you need to rush your phone off to scientists so they can discover the miracle materials inside it 😜
