    Or…just make a damn removable battery And allow people to buy new batteries. I don’t need my phone to charge in half a second with a high chance of it exploding or killing itself from being charged at high speeds…I just want to be able to replace the shit you glued in

      honestly agreed, I don’t mind the fast charging, but I would love removable batteries. Even if it meant shorter life spans. like I used to be able to pay 20-30$ on a battery and replace it, but now you need adhesive and a heat gun

        I read somewhere about a phone that had 2 batteries, that way you could swap batteries with the phone remained turned on during the process!

          my headset does this, I’m spoiled by it and I’ll never go back. I’m fully ok with putting up with some of the issues with the headset exclusively cause of this feature. It’s so nice

              I’ve used two headsets that done it, the Arctis Pro Wireless and turtle beach stealth pro, I highly recommend the Arctis Pro wireless over the turtle beach though as the Arctis Pro wireless was a seemless swap, where the turtle beach has a 10-15 second delay swapping battery.
