What's worse is that if/when the market demands replaceable batteries, it's an easy feature for everyone else to clone.
- blackbeans 3y agoSure, it's possible to make the battery removable, but why would they do that? It was the manufacturers (e.g. Apple) who decided to make the battery non-removeable in the first place, as it allows for a more compact design and more revenue. Also the batteries would have to be ordered as a spare part years after the product launched, and most cheap manufacturers are horrible with sustained support.

- PoignardAzur 3y agoThen mission fucking accomplished, I guess. (Well, their investors might see it a little differently, but Fairphone is never going to be a unicorn company no matter what.)
