Most people I know have a drawer full of working phones they don't like anymore. I really don't think the majority of people are looking for repairability as much as you think.

Hmm, nice but that's really a very different kind of device. I don't want anything so bulky - this is like double the thickness of the S9. I'm not using any case, no need - the Gor…

How can JavaScript code (PB decoder) be faster than native code (JSON parser)?

Since I was specifically looking for this kind of products, I think I would remember. Prove me wrong!

I dont think so, just looking around the office where I am right now only 2 people out of 15 have their phone in a case.

Why do you limit this to Apple? Samsung and Sony will take extra care to apply the glue properly when fixing your phone, and they will replace your device if their glue fails to do…

I use my Samsung S9 without any case since the Gorilla glass is more than sufficient for me. It had its fair share of falls on the road when I was getting out of a car - still look…

It's also 3 times bulkier than any Samsung/Sony smartphone, though. If that's the price, I don't want it.

Interesting. My instant groceries work just fine and the company I use reports massive profits. It probably helps that they have their own automated warehouse.

Could you give some examples of these things, please? All waterproof hardware I have ever owned (phones, cameras, flashlights, watches, etc) doesn't have user-replaceable batteries…

Sure thing, but don't make waterproofing impossible in your fight for right to repair, please.

I don't care about Apple. I use phones that are rated waterproof - because I am going to swim with it. I even successfully applied warranty few times (Sony and Samsung) when a phon…

I don't recall any of these phones being waterproof. The first waterproof phone I've had was Sony Xperia Z and that was glued.

How do you maintain waterproofness without glue? Not just water resistance - I mean actually having the device survive having it in pocket and swimming with it.

Could you be more specific about these generally successful methods? If it is so simple, why are people looking for new/other strategies?

Gene expression is dependent on incredible amount of variables. It'd be a cosmic level of coincidence to have two clones express the same way. That never happens even in single-cel…
