Battery replacement for an S7 Edge is $50 at the Best Buy in Deptford
(at the Samsung Repair Center); I checked online. I can live with
that, for a new battery and the labor to swap it out; it's the getting
there and back on public transit that is time consuming (but not too
onerous, I think).

Also, iPhones are much better at battery life than Android, in my
experience. Using my iPad as an example, I would describe it as
*vastly better*. I can leave that thing unplugged for 14 hours
(without using it), it's still at 100%. And yes, it is getting email
and notifications, the cover is just closed.
