Necessary? Gaskets and o-rings haven't been invented yet?

  They have, and people preferred smaller phones.

    And then they got larger again.

      Due to the things inside them that people did want.

    People didn't prefer shit. This is a supply-driven market, vendors put out whatever they want, and we deal with it.

      Did you forget how to not buy things?
      • TeMPOraL 6mo ago
        No, but everyone else forgot this is a possibility and are increasingly making the mechanisms of social and civil life dependent on possession of a modern smartphone.

    > They have, and people preferred smaller phones. Are these smaller phones in room with use right now? Where can I buy an iPhone 8-sized iPhone? Or an iPhone 4-sized iPhone? The only ones who "preferred" "smaller" aka thinner phones are Apple with their psychotic "it's thinner again" yearly presentations.

  Why waste space for gaskets and o-rings when you can already get the battery changed out while you wait with glue? Glue is clearly the superior method, which is why almost the entire market has adopted it. Heat pads exist even in the most basic repair shops. It's not advanced technology, no need to over-engineer it.
