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

This kicks ass. The current regime of forced obsolescence bullshit must be stopped. If the phone's design must be 0.5mm thicker to accommodate a removable battery design then so be it. Little loss for massive gain.

I like how these big tech companies pretend they can make any innovation happen with enough ingenuity and r&d, except for user-friendly, human-friendly, climate-friendly ones. Oh no, now we can't charge people $99 for a battery replacement (which our market research shows that realistically means they just will buy a whole new phone!)

Who even cares about how sleek a phone is when the vast majority of people put it in a protective case anyway?
