    Apple in 2027: This is not a battery, it’s a…umm … Ultra High Density Low Current Super Capacitor.

    Coming soon from Apple. Screws that require a 4D tesseract shaped screwdriver to undo.

    But if you can undo them, feel free to change the battery.

      I love how higher IP rating is always the argument, it looks like everybody in this planet is doing daily deep diving and needs its smartphone to do that 😅

      Say, “We at Apple, Think Different.” and refuse to be shepherded into the flock with the likes of the dirty android heathens. You can’t give in so easily. First, they’ll take your Lightning ports, then they’ll take your internal battery and IP68 rating, and before you know it, they’ll take your blue iMessage bubble too.

      At that point, why even bother? You might as well throw a Qualcomm Snapdragon in the next iPhone and call it a day. Congratulations Apple, you have the best UI of any Android phone on the market.

      What the actual fuck?

      You swear this isn’t satire?

        Nobody tell this guy what the EU’s Digital Markets Act means for Apple and iMessage…

    Thank fucking god for the EU, for fighting for global digital rights where nobody else does.

      We need SD cards more. They removed them so they can charge you 300 $ to upgrade 128gb and to force you into shitty cloud service.

      Again, just anti consumer bullshit spearheaded by Apple and gargled by Samsung.
