Won't someone please think of the poor phone manufacturers?
Apple is only the ... checks charts ... richest company in the world. How will they survive with tariffs?
I like how my 15$ Casio mechanical watch is 30m water resistant yet the battery can be swapped in 2 minutes with a basic screwdriver. If only phone manufacturers can copy this crazy technology.
- bzzzt 2y agoBecause it's not water resistant anymore when the battery is swapped? My slightly more expensive watch requires new sealing rings to retain guaranteed water resistance after opening it up. Could be a warranty thing but I wouldn't bet my watch on it ;)
- subscribed 2y agoOK? So it's replacing $0.30 worth of part (plus $0.05 for silicone grease probably) instead of replacing the whole watch, right? Different phone manufacturers are different. Apple now famously changed the design of the last iPhone so it must be opened from the front (expensive screen!) rather than from the back like with the previous model - to make it even harder for the end user to seek he'll outside of apple services. This is just an example of the intentional hostility. Make deliberate changes that harm costumer in the long run.
