Apple's John Ternus says that removable batteries will reduce durability of iPhones
Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Engineering says that removable batteries will reduce durability of iPhones.
Ah yes, Apple. A company that is famously concerned about the longevity and durability of their products.
To be fair, their software/security support is longer than any others that I'm aware of. They beat out even Samsung in that regard.
Only one that's close/better is Fairphone and they still have a looong way to go before they can compete in terms of quality and audience.
But I agree that their physical durability and repairability could seriously improve.
Never really had an issue with iPhone outside of the glass screen, but more recent Gorilla Glass offerings have mostly fixed that issue for me. I do love what Fairphone is doing.
God I want a fairphone so bad. Too bad they aren't available in Canada yet.
Which company the one know to have a lot of problems with amd dedicated gpu or the company know to kernel panic the entire phone os only because the iphone 11 mobo can't detect a microphone or the one know selling computer for more than 900€ with soldered flash memories that give a use limit to the hardware making it almost a paperweight and to resolve this issues you need to desolder the old chips and solder new one?
Is that an observation or a threat?
iPhones aren't exactly known for durability...
Most Motorola and Samsung batteries are completely removable but there's something in the way to prevent it - glue, a sticker, a couple of screws. I doubt removing those measures will reduce the durability of the phones.
Is that an observation or a threat?
Haha, exactly, sounds like the mafia.
Pioneer of the glass backed phone, bezelless display and camera protrusion is lecturing us on durability? Hmmm
I think that's moreso caused by modern Iphones being entirely made of glass
Apple: makes back of phone glass for aesthetics and premium feel
Consumer: puts $5 plastic case on phone to protect expensive glass
I guess saying that your product will be shittier is normal these days.
Maybe if iPhones "decrease" in durability, maybe fewer people will purchase them?
Oh no, think about the yacht money!
