Hooray! Younger generations will finally be able to experience the joy of dropping their phone and having to pick up three to four different pieces! /s

(I'm all for this change, by the way)

Oh I remember that with Nokias. It's like shock absorbing for cars lol.

I was 12, I think, when I got my first phone. A Nokia. I was mortified the first time it happened. Then clack-clack-clack I was taught to put it together again.

Happened many more times afterwards.

I was around the same age. :) I still have the old Nokias. What a time that was, with Symbian being an OS.

I was under the impression this is just stopping companies gluing batteries so the phones are repairable.
Are we going back to nokia style batteries?
