For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

The Galaxy S4 from 2013 has a removable battery, headphone jack, and sd card slot. Its no thicker then a modern smartphone.
I'd rather pay more for something that lasts me longer. If users can replace their own batteries easily and expand their storage, they can hold on to the device for longer. That way they'll buy less phones and won't care that the product was minorly more expensive.
And have flooded landfills with batteries. Wired headphones don't have batteries that will degrade or need charging.
Not really. I have a 64gb phone and need an sd card to store my music. If I wanted more storage I would literally have to buy a different device. I'd rather just have an sd card slot.
battery wear is part of the reason people trash their otherwise working phones. People buying phones more often is a symptom of not having right to repair.
Also, buying an extra battery and charger meant you could carry a fully charged battery in your pocket and if you were out hiking or something, you could just swap batteries instead of needing a power bank and a whole bunch of charging time.
