    Good, the biggest reason I have to buy a new phone is the battery effectively dying. I’ve already decided that when my current phone needs to be charged at least twice a day then I’m buying a phone with replaceable parts, something like Fairphone. From experience my phone has at least 2, maybe even 3, years left so maybe by that time I have a lot more options to choose from.

      Batteries used to be considered to be a part that needs to be replaced as part of regular maintenance, because they deteriorate pretty fast compared to the other parts. The fact that anyone ever thought batteries should not be replaceable astonishes me.

    I’d love to see it this would actually give some phones a longer lifespan. Especially for people like me that “charge” their phone 24/7 because of USB-Tethering.

      Remember that LG phone where you could slide the entire bottom off and it had a battery in it like a hdd cage. That would be totally doable.

        I knew someone was gonna say that but of course I want it to be thin when I have it in my pocket the whole day. I have a case on my phone that makes it thicker and you can already kinda see it through my pants which doesn’t really look good
