Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won’t anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

    Personally I find this terrible news. Expect people to replace their batteries with cheap Chinese fire hazards. With the size of these batteries and the density id be terrified living in an apartment building. There is already a lot of this going on with cheap electric scooters and recreational vehicles.

    Add on the fact that I don’t miss the days of bulky phones where I drop them and the battery goes flying out (also dangerous).
