It always reminds me of North Korea, or China. No matter what else you do, you must be seen to believe in the right thing or else you are some kind of evil deviant.

What the religion or belief system is actually is is about is almost irrelevant. The important thing is to believe, understanding it is entirely not required and almost frowned upon.

Lol says apple simp. See how that's not actually a counter argument see how you actually have to explain your points in order for them to be valid and see how you failed to do so because every single point you come up with lacks evidence.

You have said that it is impossible to make efficient batteries that a user replaceable, but you have failed to demonstrate why this is the case. Phones have historically had use of replaceable batteries for years it's been fine. Manufacturers just realized they could force people to buy new phones more easily if they didn't make the batteries replaceable, it's got nothing to do with efficiency, and everything to do with anti-consumer capitalism.

Good god you've missed the point haven't you?

If you want shit with removable batteries, cool, go out and make your demands heard. But why should your demands be pushed onto everyone else

Because companies are not providing products with removable batteries so the consumers refusing to buy products with non-removable batteries doesn't work because there's no alternative product to purchase. Manufacturers know they have consumers in monopoly so they have no reason to change.

What about the consumer that doesn't give a fuck about usb-c or removable batteries?

The USB c-thing is not just about user friendliness it's also about the environment. Constantly having to throw old charges away because their incompatible with new products produces an enormous amount of e-waste, everyone using the same charger reduces it, which is only a good thing. Also the Apple charger which is what I'm assuming you're going on about is actually less safe than the usb-c standard. I think we can all agree that manufacturers should use safer options when they become available.

Why should they be made to buy products designed around standards that aren't important to them?

If a product has a feature you don't care about, why do you care, just don't use it and you're fine.

The battery is still unnecessarily glued in with permanent adhesive that requires a heat gun to melt it though.

I never understand why batteries need to be glued in at all, surely pure friction will keep them in place. If you really need them stuck down use pull tabs.

The EU market is almost as big as the US market so yeah they'd be giving an awful lot up.

There must have been stairs somewhere. Otherwise that's a fire risk.

That's why when they take air temperature samples they take multiple samples from multiple locations and they explicitly don't put them under trees, behind shade, unusually high up.

If you're standing under a tree resulting in a lower air temperature that won't affect the weather prediction because the temperature isn't taken from your phone.

Why don't they just make a deal with a reputable meteorology group, and just use their reports.

Please explain why a phone would need to weigh more, be less durable and be thicker simply because it has a usable replaceable battery. The battery would surely be the same size and regardless.

So? Buy them from some Chinese third party manufacturer.

Suction cups count as specialist tools. They are tools explicitly for removing the screen of a smartphone.

Commercially standard means things like screwdrivers that can be used for any number of circumstances. Also pretty much every single repair guide involves a hair dryer so I'm not sure what phone you're talking about.

Only because the US government doesn't feel like doing any actual governing whatsoever.
