Batteries got harder to access, making battery swaps a lot harder and error prone for regular users. The battery used to be easily accessible via the back cover, which was made to be easily removable. Now you have to unglue your screen with a heat gun, get to the battery through the phone guts, remove the original battery which is likely glued in, put the new one, put the phone back together and somehow glue the screen back and hope you didn't damage anything. Also, from my experience, 3rd party replacement batteries typically don't last as long as the original ones do. An original battery lasted me 3 years, after which I had to keep replacing 3rd party batteries every 4 months because they kept dying.

That's nice, but at what power draw?
Also, one is likely to run older games on an iGPU but Alchemist is famously struggling in directx <=9.
A PCIe 4.0 TLC (3-bit) ssd might have higher burst write speed, but for a long file copy / write operation a PCIe 3.0 MLC (2-bit) ssd will likely finish faster as it will have higher sustained write speed, while TLC's write speed would fall off rather quickly. No idea about reads, I kinda suspect that PCIe 4.0 TLC would be better for reads all around, burst and sustained, but that's just my guess and I might be wrong.
Worse yet, these external SSDs are aimed at professionals.
Ah, yes, us non-professionals suffering a data loss is no biggie. Imma revive my dead grandma and retake the pictures with her. Thanks Tom.
Great upgrades all around, but the price suffered a lot. $350/$400 for the old model vs $550 for the new OLED model is too much of a jump. OLED model costs $150-$200 more than the older model, which is 50% more, while not being 50% better.
It's not really old. Or are there multiple versions of 3060?
