Replaceable Batteries Are Coming Back To Phones If The EU Gets Its Way
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
Hackaday
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.
Fuck 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?
I 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)
