Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

There are so many ways you can waterproof a phone and have a user replaceable battery and still keep it thin and sleek. But that doesn't sell a new iPhone to someone every 2 years. It's why anytime Apple, or any company like them, spouts off about how green they are, I know they're full of shit. They intentionally cause so much waste it's insane.

    I wish they had some truly modular phones. The phone I am currently using is quite bulky compared to slim model phones and even a lot of Iphones, I don't care. I don't see why I shouldn't be able to swap put almost every component other than the screen, it's not like the phone frame themselves have really changed much from the original Iphones. Battery, Storage, Processor, RAM, Speaker, Receiver..even the camera. I see no reason why those couldn't be part of modular systems.
