    I was hoping not to see these shitty post titles here on lemmy. The rules apply to all mobile phones (and other small devices) not just apple.

    Oh no, poor Apple having to do a redesign. How can they ever afford that with their billions.

      Why the headlines only mentions Apple, when it’s for every manufacturer?

      The industry will spend billions on R&D to develop such an outrageous solution. Batteries… that can be… replaced! Who could think that would be a good idea?
