Back in the day, just about everything that used a battery had a hatch or a hutch that you could open to pull it out and replace it if need
I really hope this impacts the devices we’ll have access to in the US.
Every argument for embedded batteries is a facade for charging customers more for the most common phone repair. All other reasoning is dishonest.
mercurymusingFuck yes please.
Even aside from the repairability, do you know how hard it is to make sure a device without a removable battery is actually off? And not just dark with all the sensors active?
actualasterI miss being able to yank the battery out if the entire phone was unresponsive, as opposed to waiting 20 minutes poking it in the hopes it will respond (when the usual manual options aren’t working)
besthanddealtI had to get a whole new phone bc my old one wouldn’t stay charged even tho everything else about it worked and being able to replace the battery (without destroying the phone or going to someone that charges 100+ ) would’ve been so nice
