eu-cool obviously, but stuff like this is still neat sicko-jammin

Now it seems Apple will need to figure out how to allow access to the battery inside future iPhones, as will every other smartphone manufacturer.

Eat shit and drink piss, Apple. I have a desk drawer full of old phones with removable batteries, we had this shit figured out 20 years ago

I don’t get why everyone here’s shitting on Apple specifically. When’s the last time a major Android phone company made replaceable batteries? A decade?

Great law. The only positive about non removable batteries was cheap and easy waterproofing of phones. But Samsung figured out waterproofing with a removable battery in the Galaxy S5 9 years ago, so I'm sure manufacturers will figure out a way.

Phones aren't even changing that much year to year anymore. They aren't getting thinner and battery life is pretty decent no matter what you buy. There's no reason to not do it. I'm sure the corpos will market it as how it was their idea the entire time because they care about the environment so much lol.
