Reballed memory currently accounts for a small share of smartphone components, but adoption could nearly double by 2027 as manufacturers look for alternatives to increasingly expensive DRAM.
While I agree with the sentiment that reusability is good, I would only knowingly buy a phone with reused components if they offered a three year warranty on those reused parts. My phones typically last me three or four years. The wear and tear on those memory units would make me extremely skeptical of them.
