Oh shit, maybe next we'll get the headphone jacks back.

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!)

mfw waterproof phones become a gasket nightmare with flaps over ports and shit again. Love to unplug my phone and have it go "uhm. Excuse me, you uhhh... Didn't close the charging port flap all the way. Gonna need you to do that before you can call 911 because you're bleeding out. Oh, lemme hit you with a quick speaker-clearing buzz to get that water out."

i just want a little switch on the side that physically disconnects the camera and microphone from the mobo and battery. It would be so easy, please EU, force this upon production. Don't you want to get back at the US for blowing up that pipe? Why not fuck with their surveillance state, as treat, as a little joke?
