How so? If removable batteries were favored by consumers it would seem the Android devices that offered them far longer would’ve continued to have them.
- sschueller 2y agoThe "Free Market" showed that it is way more profitable to sell a shinny skinny phone that many replace instead of fixing after a year. Apple successfully brainwashed consumers via their brilliant ad compains that thinner and shiny is better than usability, longevity and the environment. Samsung and others copied what made more money.
