   Tech companies, please stop making things smaller and thinner, it's not 1998. We want longer battery life and our things to be repairable, instead of replaceable. If you can't think of any actual innovations, stop wasting resources!

     @RickiTarr I would take a non huge phone, with a replaceable battery with expandable storage, but... No one makes it.

     @WhatTheChel @RickiTarr The last high end phone I had with a replaceable battery was a LG G5. The base of the phone popped off and you just slid the battery out. Very easy to carry a spare. They made an small holder for a 2nd battery which acted as a charger and a battery bank, so you could just carry a second battery along with you and just pop it in when you needed. Loved the concept and sad that it was sort of their last gasp.

     @RickiTarr I sooo miss my Samsung with the replaceable battery! I always walked with a spare and would just swap them when one died. I'm still hanging on to an older model that allows me a 1TB SD card, but whenever this finally dies I'll be lost.
