Casio solved that problem 40 years ago with 4 screws and a rubberband.
It is what it is, the same with soldered ram in laptops. Cheaper manufacturing + worse repairability == bigger earnings per quarter
Two screws on each side of the battery so it doesn’t move and a back cover with screws would get you the same waterproofing as glue. Instead a broken glass back will get you 600€ of repair in an Apple Service Center
- valuearb 6y agoThe present trend of screws+glue doesn’t make devices easily repairable, but it does make them much tougher and break far less. I dropped my MacBooks at lest a dozens times and never had anything ever break or stop working.
