Here's my take on what phone companies will do next: replaceable batteries are back! With an inkjet twist:

1- You have to buy them precharged

2- You can no longer recharge them

3- The phone will explode if it detects a 3rd party battery

Or maybe they will go the Musk Tesla route:

Phones will come set to let you use 64gb of space and have a battery that lasts almost a day. For a fee of they will let you make use of 256gb and additional 50% battery capacity. There will be fees for enabling software that allows supercharging with special adapters.

Real inkjet twist. You can subscribe to a battery service that sends you a new battery every month for 19.99. If you cancel the plan, your phone is deactivated immediately, even though your phone came with a battery.

EU is coming for non-replacable batteries in 2027 I think

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
