  • To be fair though, I’ve never heard of a modern phone battery swelling. That’s something that will happen years after it’s EOL, and at that point the company is no longer obligated to supply a replacement (as ideal as that would be).

    An integrated battery allows the company to minimize the size and design of the phone. It’s not 100% greed and planned obsolescence, though its virtually guaranteed those are components of the design decision.

    I want replaceable batteries too. But I want them to be standard so I don’t need 3 chargers for each company’s phone. And I want them to be sleek like modern phones so they fit in my hand and pocket like I’m familiar with.



  • WELCOME, baberim! I’m new here too and felt the same way. Reddit historically handled blunders fairly well, not perfectly, but better than this. It’s so sad to see they couldn’t pull in that same community-focused energy they have in the past. I wish we could have stayed there. But on the other hand - we have an opportunity to build a new future together, a new internet and decentralized social web. And that’s exciting. :)
