Can I not search for both?

No one needs to pay them. Not being treated like garbage is sufficient.

Again, there is no trade-off. If you want to just plug your phone in and be tethered to a wall, you can still do that.

The NSA collects all kinds of information. That is an absolute pittance compared to the amount of data collected when it is required by law...

Like this is not that complicated.

Yes, it absolutely is, because the US government does not require companies by law to hand over any and all information they collect to them.

You can run https://owntracks.org/ but you need a server to run it on.

That's incredibly naive.

This was an instant buy for me until I read that.

Agreed I was disappointed as well. Really like my ZF6 otherwise.

It abso-fucking-lutely is.

Does this really need an explanation?

  1. Non-replaceable batteries provide zero benefits.

  2. Swappable batteries allow you to just carry extras instead of being tethered to a charger. I used to literally never plug my phone in. Just swap batteries one or twice a day.

  3. It's the first component to die in most phones, and people can't be bothered or don't realize you can have them replaced, so they just throw them in the garbage. That's why they started doing it in the first place.

No, for the same reason I haven't been interested in a long time; no promises for software updates. My Zenphone 6 got 1 update.

Because it's easier and cheaper than having a laptop. One less device to worry about.
