I suspect some companys will absolutely use this as Marketing stunt " Look how customer friendly we are" cant wait for the Iphone advertisements that make it look like they invented it for the first time ( they advertised in germany still like 3 months ago that you can delete sent messages )
So likely some companys will Release way earlier phones with Removeable batterys is my guess
The Samsung XCover’s and few of the Nokia C’s already have removable batteries.
The marketing will be particularly ironic since nearly all of the current companies made phones with removable batteries as recently as five years ago.
Yeah my phone is about 5 years old right now, and I’m wondering if I can keep it alive til 2027 so my next one can have a removable battery. My current one is not too hard to replace the battery (have to undo a lot of tiny screws and some double sided tape, but nowhere near as bad as an iphone). But it’s the principle.
