Are you on the correct site?
Back in the late nineties I had a phone that lasted 2 weeks on a charge. I ended up buying a second charger to have at work because twice a month my phone would die in the middle of the work day. Now I charge my phone every night and that doesn't happen anymore.
I'll take the thinner phone, thanks.
If I had a 3d printer I'd custom design an Arduino case. I want to make one that looks like a tricorder, complete with slots for LEDs etc.
His daughter is a lot more likely to get pregnant* as a teenager than she is to shoot or get shot. There actually is a basis for prioritizing one over the other.

It's a lot easier to plug in a charging cable.
If you take that comment and swap 'iOS' and 'Android', you go from a -1 to +5.

When 'stuff that matters' gets a higher comment count than stuff that doesn't, it'll turn up more often. Think before you bitch.
They could go back to posting on-line about how they're not sheep because they have an Android phone.
So long as it's agreed that an integrated battery means a sturdier phone. Afterall, my 'bad luck' was consistent.
Interestingly enough replacement battery doors were plentiful for all three of the phones. But whatever, no, I'm not making this up. I made no claims to how widespread the problem is, only that for me it traversed three brands of phones and two pricing tiers. Personally I find it hard to believe I am alone here, but I offer no proof
to the contrary.
Even if I was making this up despite a clear lack of motivation it is commonly understood that less moving parts means greater reliability.
There is no call for this philosophy to cause conflict, nor am I a liar because I don't have a fashionable complaint.
Palm Treo 700, Motorola generic flip phone, Nokia 3650. Not sure why you think I would lie about this. Is there a particular brand whose honor you're trying to defend?
I agree with you on all counts. The conversation he and I are having is largely academic, personally I think he's embelleshing a bit about his friend.
When the Retina Macbook Pros came out, these were the ones with the integrated battery, one of their key differences over their predecessors is that they felt a good deal more sturdy. If you lifted it without folding it up it felt like it had a good deal more structural integrity. This is partly because it's lighter and you're moving less mass around and partly because the case is just plain more rigid.
That's why the lack of seams matters.
