Remember when you could just buy a battery off the shelf, pop out the old battery, and pop in the new one? Without waiting for service or finding a brand store

Remember when you could just buy a battery off the shelf, pop out the old battery, and pop in the new one? Without waiting for service or finding a brand store that's at best hours away? And without having to worry about whether the manufacturer has deemed your phone too legacy to allow you to replace the battery anymore?
- ddingus 4y agoNot to mention a battery swap means having basically immediate power replenishment on demand. I work around this with battery cases. Everytime I do that when there are onlookers, at least one of them want to know all about it. Demand for this is pretty high, given my experiences doing an equivalent thing where people see it happen. And there is also the important matter of making sure the device is off and not doing something a user might not want to have done. Sure, an ad-hoc Faraday Cage is not that much trouble, but many do not understand how or even it being possible.
