It takes an hour and a half to swap a pixels battery if you have all the right tools.

Google is not embracing repairability. They are doing just enough to say they are doing something.

Sincerely, my Pixel.

For now at least. Google has company ADHD and will probably forget about it in a few years.

To absolutely no-one's surprise. Their devices are not only a colossal pain in the ass to work on, but the part prices are absolutely draconian. What they quoted me for a broken display is close to what I've paid for the device to begin with

Samsung can't stop the coming wave of consumer rights laws. Pretty short sighted of them.
