You'd still need some in-device battery to keep the phone from fully powering off every time you change the outside battery. I think people want their phones to not have to fully power off all the time.
- lbotos 3y ago30min of standby capacity for an internal lil battery, external poptarts galore? I don't hate it. It's kind of an interesting play because apple could make a super thin phone that has 30 min battery life and then a few different size pop tarts with different capacities. You want 3 days, get the mondo brick.
- bradknowles 3y agoHow is that materially different from what Apple already has?
- Haemm0r 3y agoApple can charge the same prize for the phone and upsell you on the battery :-)
- bradknowles 3y agoAgain, how is that different from the current situation?
- windowsrookie 3y agoInterestingly Apple's old PowerBooks had this. They had a very small internal lithium rechargeable battery. So you could close the lid(making the PowerBook go to sleep). Then you could swap the main battery without having to shut down the laptop. It could power itself off the internal battery (in sleep mode) for a few minutes.
