W or L easily replaceable batteries coming back?

[the_FUTURE]

this gonna slow down the progression of new tech going forward or nah?

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Not something i care for tbh

Massive W. User replaceable batteries were implemented primarily because of profit.

Look at laptops nowadays. More and more parts (ram, SSD) are being soldered onto the motherboard. Making it almost impossible to replace and/or repair.

The right to repair is a massive W for consumers and the environment.

 

[The Infamous]

More and more corporations are becoming extremely anti consumer (ex. Apple, HP). It's fukking ridiculous.

Canon is getting away with printers that won’t scan sans ink — but HP might pay

Remember when Canon got sued? The plaintiffs settled, I’m afraid.

I only care if Microsoft is involved and is losing.

I don't think it will be like the ones were you pop the back off and swap the battery

a lot of it is needed if you want a really slim product. but hopefully this kind of regulation will push the tech to be more modular and slim

 

[Cakebatter]

it's a win for anyone who keeps their phone longer than 2 years.

 

[The Guru]

Should be good. However we'll see them engineer the power use and battery so that you'll NEED to replace it more often

Don’t care
