This article frustrates me.
>Starting in 2009, Apple began to phase out removable batteries across its laptop line in favor of batteries that were sealed inside the case and were not user-accessible.
>The upsides, which Apple touted, were many: lighter weight, smaller size, better reliability, longer battery life.
What are you talking about? The link provided to Apple's press release for that laptop did not include anything about why a non-removable battery was advantageous. They provided other reasons the new battery was great, but they did not say the elimination of user-serviceability allowed for any of those benefits.
>The iPhone defied so many other norms that the sealed battery was less remarked upon than it might have been, but it was still noted.
Noted by who? Remarked upon by who? It sounds like this author is generalizing his own opinions to the entire population. I'm sure this comment sounds nitpicky but I just don't like this kind of fast and loose writing.
