    Don’t even get me started on the fact you can’t just replace a fucking battery anymore.

        There are ip68 seals for phone frames so you can open it to replace the battery

        Pretty sure that has almost nothing to do with it.

        There are other non-smartphone consumer electronics with IP68 and user replaceable batteries.

      What do you mean you can’t? Sure, it takes an unnecessary amount of work, which is fucking stupid, but it is still absolutely doable at home (in most cases)

        Most people literally do not have the technical knowledge for that.

        Just because I own the tools and can do it myself misses the larger issue of this being anti-consumer in general.

        Consumers shouldn’t need to have those kind of skills to change a battery.
