"I just wish every electronic device we can buy would get user replicable[sic] batteries. It‘s downright stupid if you consider the sheer amount of electronic waste that exists just because of non-replaceable batteries." (Tweet by @tooSAVERAGE, 2020-12-30)

I am not going to read any articles.

Because they challenge your point of view, right?

Sorry. I don't like taking a device apart (and possibly ruin water resistance in the process and induce other damage) just to replace one expiring component that is supposed to be replaceable.

Also, non-replaceable batteries allow vendors to implement shady tricks such as hardware locks (see iPhone 12). And it will only get worse with time.

Replaceable batteries provide certainty, convenience and a sense of ownership.

Battery replacements should be trivial, not risky and unpredictable surgeries.

I don't need to. I will buy the parts and replace them for people like you when you guys need it. The helplessness of the many keeps me employed. Carry on soldier.
