I think your comments about phone batteries and issues are out of line and inaccurate. To begin with, the physical characteristics are significantly different. 10 yrs ago we still had flip phones with a black & white screen about 1.5 inches square and maybe a 100K pixels. Today they are over 6" long and 2" wide and exceed 10 million pixels. Processor was a single slow one years ago, today as many as 8 that are very fast. They have multiple crisp cameras, run major applications, have speech & sound recognition, and are superfast compared with years ago. They are computers significantly more powerful than most home computers years ago. . Battery improvements have also continued. Most batteries begin to lose some capabilities after a certain number of charges, typically between 400-500 but that continues to improve with technology advances. Battery use duration has continued to improve also. It is generally rated in hours of talk time and improves with each new generation of phones.
I'm guessing people had the same concerns about oil when autos were 1st introduced but most soon weaned themselves from using animals for transportation and didn't regret the change. Time change and so do most folks.
