Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.
I hate Apple, but I’m not going to pretend that a lot of other phones are as unfixable, or close to.
My mom’s air has a sticky key. They wanted over $500 to fix it and I watched a video on what all that entails, not thrilled to try it. Apple does this shit on purpose.
“EU explains why it doesn’t care that Apple is refusing to make non replaceable batteries”
Screws and gaskets. Fuck you apple.
They will though, at least in Europe. Otherwise they will lose that market entirely
EU wasn’t asking bro
Well, they have to.
Shame on apple
Unwillingly is also fine with me.
It would be great if the EU steps back:
Dear phone manufacturers. It seems to be impossible to build water resistant phones with easily replaceable batteries. So we have an alternative for you: In future you must provide a unconditional, professional battery replacement, free of charge for 10 years for each individual phone which is water resistant. Since the phones are so water resistant you also have to replace all water damaged phones free of charge.
2 hours later Apple announces a keynote for next week. A week later Tim Cook presents us next years iPhone with an easily replaceable battery…
I would think that as long as a battery is replaceable, it should suffice to meet environmental requirements.
Specifically regarding the iPhone, with the current battery replacement cost being under $100, I find it difficult to understand this being such an issue where an entire continent needs to make a rule against the design.
But I understand some people just want the ability to fix their own shit without having to bring it in for service. And I know this isn’t just about phones but nearly everything that has a battery.
tl;dr apple won’t do that because it’s special

Like $ync. People need to eat!!
Are you familiar with the concept of market cap
The answer: Apple wants to rip people off.
