The Apple argument is ridiculous. They are making phones for how many years? Over 10. Yet, their engineers have not figured out a solution to have a removable battery and have it waterproof? Give me a break. Apple is greedy as fuck, but that's not a news.

Hahahahhahahahah

Deep breath

Hahahahhahahahahahaha

Since when did Apple do comedy?

So a company that loves making phones obsolete just to force people to buy more, doesn't like reparability? Who could have guessed...

Yes and it is super risky and people will get killed. We have heard all the lies. They make up whatever suits them at the moment. Louis Rossmann can tell you one... perhaps even two stories about Apples bullshit.

What they mean to say is

A potential failure point in our business model

Which of course, is planned obsolescence.

Yes, failure points, like longevity due to user replaceable batteries meaning the phone could be kept and used longer. That's just a failure point when you consider the end goal of giving people reasons to buy new phones more frequently than they otherwise would.

Yet, my 8 year old phone with a tool-free replaceable battery is working just fine.

It's almost like they're full of shit.

Bullshit. My lgg3 is sitting right here next to me on the headboard, serving me quite well as an alarm clock, white noise generator (when needed), and nighttime notepad.

The only thing that failed on it is the sd card slot after it got dropped for the twentieth odd time.
