you always have to manage a million different cables for each one, and they all suck. why can’t we just use AAA batteries instead of these shitty lithium ones? it’s so fucking frustrating. where can I find gadgets that work while plugged in, or at least don’t need to be recharged every two fucking days?
But even back then, every phone model had a different battery. Now it would just be worse with how specialized those have become.
I’d buy it as the use case if you want to carry a spare battery (like you could currently carry a portable charger), so obviously a replaceable battery makes or breaks that. However, you’re giving the use case of replacing your battery when it goes bad, but phone batteries easily last 2+ years and are not that expensive to replace. This seems a lot to go through just to be able to save a little on the cost of replacing your battery once in the lifetime of your phone
