Replaceable batteries and "right to repair" features in general for consumer electronics are things a relatively fringe group of consumers actually want. Most people would prefer to simply replace a broken device or take it to a tech repair shop and have them do it: they aren't hackers or electronics tinkerers and simply don't care to do it.
- gtvwill 4y agoLol >50% of farmers would disagree with you. Your opinion re. Who wants to fix stuff is quite limited it would seem. I mean hell my parents and every old person I have provided tech support to generally if they find out you can't change a battery in a device make a comment along the lines of "that's dumb" and "that's wasteful". The kids I tech about tech are the same. So yeah.. Probably just your peer group bud. Most of my mates would prefer to spend 10 seconds unscrewing a compartment than paying someone 10 bucks for nothing.
- gaius_baltar 4y ago> a relatively fringe group of consumers actually want Pretty big chance that we are falling victim to a paradox here. If the majority of users think "I can't buy a phone with a replaceable battery because all high-end phones from any manufacturer lacks them" the battery issue never get cited on polls on why a person bought a particular phone.
