    Good, the biggest reason I have to buy a new phone is the battery effectively dying. I’ve already decided that when my current phone needs to be charged at least twice a day then I’m buying a phone with replaceable parts, something like Fairphone. From experience my phone has at least 2, maybe even 3, years left so maybe by that time I have a lot more options to choose from.

    This is great news, but I hope they also take steps to incentivise manufacturers to actually sell the batteries. Sure, you can get them on ebay, but the quality is variable.

    I’d love to see it this would actually give some phones a longer lifespan. Especially for people like me that “charge” their phone 24/7 because of USB-Tethering.

      Remember that LG phone where you could slide the entire bottom off and it had a battery in it like a hdd cage. That would be totally doable.

        I knew someone was gonna say that but of course I want it to be thin when I have it in my pocket the whole day. I have a case on my phone that makes it thicker and you can already kinda see it through my pants which doesn’t really look good
