Anyone who designs battery-powered consumer electronics and doesn't make it trivial to replace a dead battery should be slapped with a cold herring.
One nice feature of the Samsung Galaxy line (at least up to the 4S I have now) is that it takes all of ten seconds to swap batteries.
- RodgerTheGreat 11y agoThe mechanisms necessary for a removable battery that doesn't fall out accidentally cost extra weight and bulk. It's an engineering tradeoff, and swappable batteries aren't worth it for many users. This is also why many laptops have fewer interchangeable parts- for many people, being lighter and thinner is better, and a 3-5 year lifespan is plenty.
