I will never get over Brexit. Europe were really looking out for us as consumers.
That’s nice. Pretty sure it won’t come to us.
First USB-C, now this. The EU is doing the lord’s work
My phone and laptop have replaceable batteries. It extends the lifetime of these devices by years. Usually the battery is the first part to break.
Yup, two years in and batteries usually have 50% their capacity or less.
A year ago I would have been absolutely for this. I mean I still had a smartphone with swappable battery (LG G4) 2015-2019 and only changed away from it because of the bootloop issues this phone had.
Though last year i switched to the Zenphone 9 and this phone has a phenomenal battery time in my eyes. I only slow charge it to 80% every 2 days and I could use the phone for more than 48h if i wanted. Fully charged i can use it for 3 days. I don’t think i will see battery issues for a long time.
I could see that some future phone designs and technologies (like bendable phones) would have it difficult to include swappable batteries. I wonder if those could still use fixed batteries if they offer a free replacement each year or sth like that, instead. The USB-C changes are good for sure though
batteries never last. 2 years later and it’ll be bad.
