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

    To be honest, the reason that individual people buy all of these devices is to signal working class status and/or larp at being more blue collar than they really are. Largely the same thing as buying an OtterBox for your iphone. "I'm a big boy in my truck and I need an otterbox because nothing else protects my phone well enough from the rugged activities I do as an architect or insurance salesman."

    The reason corporate buys these devices is because they read the specs and they go "wow it's durable? We won't have to replace so many of them! Military specs? so-true Bazinga! Get operations to order exactly 1 for every frontline employee!" They're much cheaper than something like a zebra device, which is basically the same thing but done correctly, but you absolutely get what you pay for when it comes to enterprise computers. However, corporate doesn't notice or care if their workers have to scan things 10 times with a camera or deal with constant app crashes, so spending 1/4 as much is fine by them.
