That's an odd reply since by that argument they also flocked to a phone with no replaceable battery, which was pretty standard in the 2000s. But you could be right. I guess this will be an experiment to watch: If EU consumers show a strong preference for replaceable batteries once they become more widely available, we can expect manufacturers to start offering it in other markets as well. | ||

I think everything is a tradeoff and at that point people took the trade. But the place smartphones take in our lives today compared to 2006 is radically different, I wouldn’t assume much carries over. | ||

>they also flocked to a phone with no replaceable battery, Did they flock to a phone with no replaceable battery the same way we flocked to phones with no headphone jack? | ||
