The European Parliament just caused a major headache for smartphone and tablet manufacturers.

eu-cool obviously, but stuff like this is still neat sicko-jammin

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

    Well I don’t believe the market is good for much, but the smartphone market is saturated enough that we have a pretty good idea of the form most people want in a phone when balancing aesthetics, weight, ease of handling, durability, waterproofing, screen size, etc.

    Markets have many uses and your example is not one of them. People can only buy what is being sold, and advertising spin warps what they would choose from among those options. It is hard to say what "the form most people want in a phone" is given we only have such wildly skewed information on the topic.
