I haven’t felt the need to upgrade and honestly did not like my wife’s without the button.

Funny story with the battery, when mine began losing charge, I went to the local Verizon store to ask if they sold batteries. The salesman looked at me like I had two heads and said getting a new battery was useless, my phone was dead and I needed to update.

I then went to Batteries plus, asked if they sold batteries, they said yes, put it in, and it’s held a charge fine ever since. That was two years ago.

Eventually I will have to upgrade but a phone to me isn’t something that I insist to have the latest model of. I’m not a Luddite but I’m just not someone who gets excited about the newest model of phones. A phone is a phone is a phone and I’ll update when I’m ready.
