It is natural to form an emotional bond with the phones that we carry with us 23 and a half hours a day for two to four years, that come with us to festivals, to the cinema, to work, on hikes, on bike rides and more. It is normal to feel nostalgia for a device that allowed us to photograph babies that turn into toddlers, that become children. It is normal to feel nostalgia for a device that is an integral part of our live 24/7 for years.
I have a 2016 MacBook Pro that now requires me to swap the battery. The issue is that because this is a machine from 2016 it is seen as obsolete by Apple. This means that Xcode and other apps no longer get updated. Neither does Final Cut Pro X and other apps.
In light of this if I was to swap the battery for a new one it could cost about 250 CHF.
I have had my Apple Watch Series Four for four or five years now and it has been warn almost every day of those for years. In that time I have exceeded my move goal by 400% six times, by 300 percent 21 times, and by 200% 194 times. I have my longest move streak lasting 76 days, and perfect weeks one hundred times. I have reached my move goal 1602 times over the years.
