A 3-4 year-old device simply can’t perform like day one.

Smartphone average Life Cycle (Year 1 → 4)

🔋 Battery (capacity): 95 → 85 → 75 → 65 %
➡️ Chemical aging, wears fastest from daily charging and heat, SoC throttling.

📱 Display (OLED) — 99 → 98 → 96 → 93 %
➡️ Gradual dimming, color shift, and burn-in risk over time.

⚙️ SoC (performance) — 99 → 95 → 88 → 82 %
➡️ Feels slower from heavier Sytem/Apps updates and rising temps.

📸 Camera (quality) — 100 → 95 → 88 → 82 %
➡️ Still solid, but OIS can weaken; newer ISPs outclass older processing, and even updates can’t fully help. further limited by an aging SoC and battery.

💡 Battery and SoC define the aging curve,
when they slow down, everything else follows. So A 3–4 year-old device simply can’t perform like day one.

🧠 Real-life usage proves it, users can feel it even when companies deny it. On paper, we can argue averages, exceptions, and 7-year update promises, but the reality never matches the paper.

Sony became the world's first major OEM to ship smartphones without USB-C cables

The latest Sony Xperia 10 VII does not even come with a USB-C cable, nor does it come with a bundled charger. It only comes with manuals and a phone inside the box.

This also makes Sony the world's first major OEM to ditch bundling USB-C cable with a smartphone, even beating Apple. However, Apple is not far behind tho as the latest Airpods 3 Pro and Airpods 4 also don't feature USB-C charging cable, so expect Apple to follow soon for iPhones as they first ditched charger with the iPhone 12 in 2020.

The reason to remove USB-C remains the same like that for chargers, i.e. its "better for the environment
