Just don't buy that crap. I'm perfectly satisfied with a rooted chinesium Android machine for a third of the money. It's actually better in many regards than my cousin's iphone14. Hardware wise. And oh, you can change parts rather easily. These are so easy to root, I don't know why not everybody does it. Or give it to someone you know / in the family to do it. Had a Huawei before this for 6 years, changed the battery and the screen. Still kinda love my old brick.

These are so easy to root, I dont know why not everybody does it.

Probably because not everyone has a valid reason to root. What about people who use GrapheneOS? Rooting does involve valid security risks that doesn't make it suitable for every single person.
