What's happening with hardware replacements? I'd be shocked if batteries lasted seven years.
I saw something about partnering with iFixit. Is there gonna be a program where we can get a certified battery installed in four years time?
Google has been partnered with iFixit for many years now, they offer genuine screens, batteries, and cameras for replacement. There's no official install service but having parts available through a retail outlet means you can go to anyone you want and they will be able to get a genuine part.
That's good to know. Thanks!
Yea, I'll be curious on battery replacements too. No point if you can't get a new battery four years later.
