I just have to get this off my chest. Samsung and LG were the last phone vendors standing, before they also succumbed to [the fatal design trend](https://en.everybodywiki.com/Benefits_of_user-replaceable_batteries#History). Back then, there used to be a freedom of choice between more functional and more durable *cheap plastic* or less functional and less durable *premium design*. But then, [phonelitical leftists](https://en.everybodywiki.com/Phonelitical_spectrum) massively attacked phone vendors because their devices lacked what they consider *pr\*\*\*um design*, which means: * Fragile glass or bendable, radio-signal-disturbing metal ***uNiBoDy*** with **non-replaceable battery** * Sacrifice durability and battery size for ***sLiM dEsiGn!!1!!1!1!!*** (over which they will put cases anyway). Instead of, well, **just going and getting a [crApple](/s/crApple) inferiorPhone** with their oh-so-beloved ***prEMiUm dEslGn***, they whined at Samsung for using durable materials and making less sacrifice. And then they also mass-attacked Samsung for *bloatware*. I agree that pre-installed apps that are available in the Play Store are unnecessary, but they never even bothered me 1% as much as **the non-replaceable battery design trend!** Also, iSheep attacked device features like Samsung's **Air View** (or *TSP hovering*) for allegedly being bloatware. **I bet that if Apple introduced the same feature, they would proudly show it off.** See: [Apple cult](https://en.everybodywiki.com/Apple_cult). ## Congratulations, iShill tech journalists. You steered the entire mobile phone market into disaster for users who actually care about practicallity.
