And none of that is justification for environmental pollution, wasting resources, and potentially human suffering if the device ends up in an e-waste dump somewhere in Africa.
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoBatteries are not the issue, software support is. And even with new batteries, the technology will be outdated eventually. My new Pixel 6 has G5, for example, my old Pixel 3 doesn't. A better solution would be to make the phones suitable for recycling. I wouldn't be surprised if glue is also better for recycling than screws, because you can just resolve it with heating or chemicals, no manual labor required.
- Tams80 5y agoThey are both equal problems. And if forced to, phones absolutely could be upgradeable software wise and still be quite secure, just like PCs.
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoYes upgradeable software could be enforced - it would just make phones more expensive, stiffle competition, and waste resources. But the politicians deciding it of course get their phones for free, so they wouldn't care much.
