That's what my reaction was for because the iPhones I have had for years at a time, never gave me battery issues. My current 12 Pro Max is just about 3 years old with no problems whatsoever but then again, I am not a kid playing games and such for 16 hours a day, which is why your kids phone batteries tank after a few years. Here's the thing, I have a tech background too David and those battery issues for your kids would exist whether they were using iOS or Android for the same reasons mentioned above. I am going to skip the condescending nature of your post regarding Apple users and their lack of wanting to deal with maintenance or just being otherwise lazy BS. Newsflash. NO ONE WANTS TO DEAL WITH MAINTENANCE, whether it's a phone or a car. This is coming from someone with 30+ years on the Mac platform, 30 years on Windows, a few years on Linux, 13 years of iOS, and 2 years of Android (as I stare at my "newer" 4 year iMac and 18 year old Mac Pro G5 tower that still works as good as the day it came out in 2005). What the hell do I know though. And I'm done, for a while. Same but I guess everyone has "that" about $h! batteries on iPhones while I constantly sold batteries to Android users for their barely 1-2 year phones. Use what you want to use but don't condescend over it and belittle users but calling them lazy for about the dumbest damn reasons imaginable (obviously, that part was directed at you lol).

Happy holiday weekend to most of North America: Happy Canada Day (July 1) - and I drove the LaCrosse up to Toronto to visit friends - and Happy Independence Day, for which "I'll be back." Enjoy and stay safe.

100% and why, at this point, I have zero reason to ever consider a non-Apple phone. My iPhones have all lasted between 4-6 years.

1) Totally agree with you that Squirrels are Rodent Pests, hate them, they are not natural to the PNW and destroy more than they help especially when crazy old folks think they are cute and out out pounds of peanuts so they tear up the yard, garden and even block drains, gutters, etc. looking for places to store the nuts. I have come to detest what I thought was a cute animal as a kid for the problems they cause at my house. 2) Agree as much as I want folks to move to EVs, I also am just dumbfounded by the laziness of folks here in North America that throw away so much plastic, aluminum cans and paper products that can be recycled. Worse yet is in Japan, Korea and Especially China and India, they use and throw away so much plastic, Styrofoam, aluminum and steel in the garbage. It amazes me how lacking we are in global recycling still.

I will agree to disagree as I have seen many problems with apple products especially in the enterprise space. Never had a problem with my Samsung Notes and now Galaxy Ultra phones. I always get 6 to 8 years and never have had the battery problems that my kids seem to have after 2 to 3 years with their iPhones. I get it, you guys like the interface and for how you work, Apple products work. For me, the interface is terrible and makes no sense, not intuitive. Yet I also understand my kids and others like you guys that enjoy their interface. That is why we have options. I enjoy Linux far more than windows lately especially Windows 11 which seems to have mimicked Apple, interface really sucks now. In regards to the topic at hand, I have found some very interesting reads on the NACS/CCS debate. Tesla NACS to Replace CCS? | LinkedIn Part 1 CCS vs NACS - Tesla's sneaky adoption of a standard, just to kill it | LinkedIn Part 2 NACS vs CCS part II: Europe won't move | LinkedIn I find both very interesting and enlightening.
