If the EU has its way we might all get this.

People can babble about water proofing, etc. There is no legitimate engineering problem.

The battery could power the device wirelessly at this point.

They could even claim they're saving the environment by not including the battery after a couple release cycles.

You probably also didn't think about them no longer making the battery two years after releasing the phone.

  • Battery not included. Purchase a compatible battery from the Apple store for just $99.99.
