    Well my definition of planned obsolescence is when they epoxy the battery into the phone. It’s a well known fact that lithium batteries will wear out in a few years or so…

    The EU recently voted to make it law that phone batteries and such need to be replaceable in the future.

    Like, why would you want a battery you can’t pull out or replace? It’s like the first thing to wear out, and the most dangerous part.

      Samsung epoxies the batteries in their phones, not Apple. Apple uses Command pull tabs. But, you know, Samsung is always innocent on the Internet.
