@sjw I'm genuinely unsure how I feel about this.
One of the reasons we went with non-replaceable batteries is that this prevents the user from cutting power and corrupting storage, which is something users like to do the moment the phone gets a little slow.

And yet it's a smart business decision.

Nailed it.
I pontificate over how fucking easy it would have been for the trumbus to fucking make a copy, or scan, his 50 bankers boxes of national secrets, instead of taking the fucking originals, for the love of the game. But I really don't give a fuck about the trumbus *or* national secrets.
As for the battery thing
- wasn't aware mandates were suddenly cool
- I'm a big fan of making it harder for stupid people to do stupid things that I then have to support or else I'm fired
- phone manufacturers aren't going to allow the phones to get thicker for this, they are simply going to make the battery smaller
- if you think they won't DRM the batteries, think again
I'm all for the battery being user-replaceable. I am not at all a fan of the battery being readily pullable by a zoomer who was told "Surgeon General to iPhone Owners: Do This Every Day. (IMPORTANT)"
