obviously, but stuff like this is still neat 
Now it seems Apple will need to figure out how to allow access to the battery inside future iPhones, as will every other smartphone manufacturer.
Eat shit and drink piss, Apple. I have a desk drawer full of old phones with removable batteries, we had this shit figured out 20 years ago
This kicks ass. The current regime of forced obsolescence bullshit must be stopped. If the phone's design must be 0.5mm thicker to accommodate a removable battery design then so be it. Little loss for massive gain.
I like how these big tech companies pretend they can make any innovation happen with enough ingenuity and r&d, except for user-friendly, human-friendly, climate-friendly ones. Oh no, now we can't charge people $99 for a battery replacement (which our market research shows that realistically means they just will buy a whole new phone!)
Who even cares about how sleek a phone is when the vast majority of people put it in a protective case anyway?
watch me triple my phone's thickness by shoving it into an otterbox
I have a mophie case with a built-in backup battery for my S8 that can also charge wirelessly, a feature that I only used maybe... twice ever. Also it has a magnet to stick ny phone onto the fridge which won't hold because the phone and case are too heavy, so it'll just slide down the fridge door, lol
My Xiaomi feels kickass during the time I take it out of its protective cover and put it in the phone holder on my electric scooter. Then after the map software guides me to my destination I take it out of its holder and put it right back in the cover.
Because you have to. The cover provides valuable impact resistance for the time when you will inevitably drop the phone. Without it, you'll easily crack the screen.
There are phone covers that are made to work with phone holders, at least for iphones. I guess maybe the holder can't fit on a scooter handle though.
