The fact that some of the gen Z crowd think it will be horrible have forgotten that it was much easier to carry 2 batteries and swap them out vs carrying a charger and cable with you everywhere. Pop in the new battery, power it on and carry on with you now full battery phone. Being tethered to a wall so you can have 10% from 20 minutes of charging is crazy.

I used to do this. I thought it was awesome but I was literally the only person I ever knew who did this. It was not a popular thing to do.

Fuck the EU. I hope we still get good small phones and EU assholes only get big bloated as fuck ones.

This is EU actively making my phone more shitty.

Who says there can't be SFF phones with replacable batteries. In fact, old samsung phones had replacable batteries.

And they were bigger than comparable htc's, were flimsy, and ip68 was a pipe dream.

Apple in 2027: This is not a battery, it's a.....umm ....... Ultra High Density Low Current Super Capacitor.

EU: Ok, then in addition to that UHDLCSC you also need a removable battery.
