Agree 100%. I remember how the early cellphones had user replaceable batteries and then the OEMs slowly converted over to making it very hard to replace them. I normally don't keep a mobile device more than a year anyway so I've yet to have to replace a battery in one. I did have to replace a battery in an ASUS tablet years back and it wasn't too difficult.
an internal battery allows the phone to be slimmer, lighter, and more likely to be water resistant (without a removable door). with battery life improving so much, the user hardly needs to swap a battery during the day. no removable battery also means one less sku to sell for the merchants but it also eliminates the opportunity to develop an extended battery. |
