    Thankfully the eu will mandate common sense starting in next year’s devices… So replaceable batteries are back!

    I’m tired of everyone copying apple. The ecosystem should be diverse with competition not captured and exploitative.

    Non-replaceable batteries, and Bluetooth only earbuds - are examples of customer capture. Their net negatives for the customers, huge positives for the supplier. One through forced obsolescence, and the other through increased recurring consumable earbuds sales.

    In a healthy capitalistic market, a competitor should come along and provide consumer friendly options and get market share…
