Apple Explains Why It Won’t Make iPhones With Replaceable Batteries
The European Union is working on legislation that would require smartphone design to have easily replaceable batteries, but we doubt Apple would agree willingly.
You're viewing a single thread.
It is called a rubber o-ring.
That's how other companies have been making water-tight compartments for batteries and other things for literally decades now. But all of a sudden, Apple wants to pretend this is some unsolvable problem. For fucks sakes stop acting like this is some insane ask, goddamn it.
No other government body is as consumer-friendly as the EU, so I really hope this bill passes and forces Apple to comply. I am so sick of the bullshit from these megacorporations who are so big they just don't give a flying fuck about what consumers want. And on the flipside, there are going to be a million Apple apologists who will side with Apple on this topic. Those bootlickers only make things worse for everyone.
Just wait, Apple will solve this with a rubber o-ring and will receive heaps of praise for their innovation.
You mean magic rings?! Or maybe they'll be called i-rings.
They'll come up with some stupid ass name like that to make it seem like it is a proprietary thing. Man, I hate that company so much.

I hate how accurate this probably is.

I believe that same law doesn't allow that, no? Or was it another?
