Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

I am curious how Apple will get around that this time. I’m almost sure this will be as funny as the whole story about the USB-C cables

Simply remove the battery and sell iPhones with magsafe battery pack cases instead?

Hopefully all Apple employees are still on Reddit.

or just like the vision pro - a wired external power pack with a proprietary connector to the iPhone, but USB C on the power pack :D

They're now slowly moving to be repairable anyway, as far as i can see. Probably an Image thing.
