The Apple argument is ridiculous. They are making phones for how many years? Over 10. Yet, their engineers have not figured out a solution to have a removable battery and have it waterproof? Give me a break. Apple is greedy as fuck, but that’s not a news.

Apple is making the wrong argument here. They already make an external battery pack that attaches magnetically. They also already offer battery replacement by a tech through service. They should be pointing at that, rather than saying they can’t figure out a way to redesign their phone.

I’m honestly amazed their PR people couldn’t spin it better. Truth be told, if it gets legislated then they’ll figure out a way to do it, or will make some design compromises. It won’t be the end of the world.

What they mean to say is

A potential failure point in our business model

Which of course, is planned obsolescence.

So a company that loves making phones obsolete just to force people to buy more, doesn’t like reparability? Who could have guessed…
