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

Apple fanboy here… but they’re probably gonna market the feature with some cool new trendy name and make the battery replacements proprietary.
It will be built from the ground up 😂
Overcomplicated, overpriced, and they’re gonna incentive just getting the next gen phone.
You mean built by some other manufacturer and marketed to seem like it was built from the ground up from Apple themselves.
Oh you probably shouldn’t go around admitting that so willingly.
Now i hope it says something about availability of the replacement batteries…
I mean…battery replacements were ALWAYS proprietary. You can’t pop a Galaxy S4 battery in a GS 5.
But you can put up a firmware barrier that keeps the phone from booting up, or at least from operating at full advertised capacity, unless it’s an “authentic” battery that’s been officially registered to that particular phone’s serial number, which can only be done via special tools and software that are only available to official Apple repair shops. They’ve done it with cameras and screens and buttons, why not batteries? It’s just another part.
