I have a feeling they’re gonna charge like $200 to $400 more then blame the regulators.

    They’ll either make the phones dumb again, or make the batteries replaceable again.

    If they do the latter, they’ll probably just make them even thinner, requiring you to replace them more often.

      they’ll make smaller shittier batteries that die more quickly so that they can charge more to replace them and put proprietary control chips inside them so either third party manufacturers of better batteries will have to “violate copyright” in order to make them work or YOU’LL be required to “violate copyright” to make them work, thus locking most people without the technical skills to circumvent the ‘security’ into only buying the shitty ‘official’ batteries until MORE regulation comes along to make them cut that shit out. In the mean time they’ll be blaming the regulations for the shittiness they adopted.
