    If only one of you owns the house then that’s what they are. It’s obviously going to vary case by case but one person has a mortgage, and all the responsibilities that come with it, and the other can cut and run any time. It would be pretty unfair to the homeowner if the SO got all the benefits of renting and buying.



  • I didn’t say there weren’t any shops but the cheapest battery job is $60. I’m not even making a strawman argument you’re doing that. Lots of folks would save $30 if they could. Lots of folks are too busy or lazy to go to a shop. I’ve known lots of iPhone users who have failing batteries and they just suffer through an unreliable phone until they have money for a replacement. This would definitely help those people.

    The argument that user replaceable batteries forces phones to be significantly bulkier or uglier is just unfounded, companies could easily engineer solutions that are both thin and look good. I had a Galaxy S5 that was waterproof and reasonably thin.
