"eu" making devices more expensives to consumers with their rules and regulations...> forcing USB-C> forcing repairability> forcing repair rating (France)> now forcing swappable batteriesDoes the "eu" not understand companies will pass on the cost to consumers? Fixing nothing and only making devices more expensive!

>>533581177It will cost Apple money to let me repair my own things, we can't let this happen! BAN THE EU NOW!

>>533581177The USA is free not to adopt these policies. Be your own boss.
Another "eu" blunder:> celebrate having speed limits, but having no roads to drive on
>>533581177I'm just not going to buy iSlops and other American overpriced garbage, that's all.
>>533581438How's the weather in Tel Aviv memeflaggit
>>533581177Finally. It never made sense to me to get rid of the removable batteries
>>533581177based, you are welcome rest of the world
>>533581309thinking it will cost apple anything. Apple will sell removeable battery as a 'feature' to their legion of consumer sheep.
>>533581177stop making me like the EU, im trying to hate them
>>533581177That phone is humongous
>>533581454Been using this for years. Never owned a smartphone or registerd any social media accounts.
There is no reason any modern phone can't have a removable back They will say some shit about water resistance but the most basic screw on back with a rubber gasket would take care of that like every single watch that requires a battery swap and can retain water resistance
>>533581177It makes me hard when the EU stands up to USrael and their ruling class.
>>533581177nice Corpos will just build in another planned obsolescence part, unfortunately
>>533581671Goycattle here shout muhhjuuuuuze 24/7 then fall in line and support their middlemen priest caste at the first opportunityTruly curious behaviour.
Everytime the EU slaps the big American corpos with consumer protection measures amerimutts are reminded that they’re just wageslave cattle without a nation. America is not a real country with a real people it’s an economic zone full of racemixed wageslave goyim. That’s why their government never protects them.
>>533581177stop stealing foreskins

>>533581177wtf I love the EUrocracy now!
LEAVE THOSE POOR MULTI BILLION DOLLAR TECH COMPANIES ALONE EU
>>533581177wow consumers having rights is so bad. We should be forced to pay a subscription to apple for them to allow us to charge our phones.The funny thing is that replaceable battery, replaceable parts and USB-C are cheaper options for the manufacturer too because they are cheap commercial products instead of highly designed custom products.
>>533581177Funny how whenever the EU does something good it gets shilled as a bad thing. It's obviously not organic but I'm wondering what their angle actually is.Is the EU on here covertly posting outrage bait to try and make themselves look smart? Or is OP just a retarded niggerfaggot?We may never know.
>>533581177So how much is Crapple paying ya?
>>533581177>Does the "eu" not understand companies will pass on the cost to consumers? Fixing nothing and only making devices more expensive!Simple solution, just cap their profit margins at 200% and europe would have the cheapest phones in the world
hypocrits all of them.
>>533581177unfortunately billionaire jews will have to give us replaceable batteries back like it was 10-15 years ago you turbokike
>>533581927Don't bother they went full greedy corporation is always right
>>533581671The reason is so that the DHS/ATF can turn on your phone while you sleep to install spyware via Bluetooth from the smart electric meter with a botnet interlinked to code-required smoke detectors, proving real time location data in your home.>The more you knowWatch this thread die now lol
>>533581964>Or is OP just a retarded niggerfaggot?This is /pol/. OP is always a faggot. And never white.
>>533581995These companies don't make profits. They are all shell companies that need to pay licensing fees to other companies in tax havens.
>>533581914Learn to meme, leaf!
>>533581177The battery one is ridiculous. They should never have been allowed to have non replacement batteries. Half the time when a phone stops working it's the battery. Many people (like me) don't care about phones but need it for the work they do, it will easily double the life span of the phone if I can walk into a shop, buy a battery and put it in my phone.
Yeah what we need is every brand to have it's own proprietary charger.Here OP you forgot your combat diaper before logging in this morning.
Average tech firm. What is the "eu" going to do, take them to court?
>>533581527It means those things are always on, even when the battery is 'dead'. I noticed this with one of the earliest models that had this, where the phone went out, even when the battery was still at 2%,
>>533581995If the cattle realized they'd been paying a ten thousand percent markup they might be a little upset.
>>533581177Fucking retard. Being able to replace the battery instead of having to purchase an entire new phone means you won't have to purchase a new phone every time the battery dies. Even if the phones ends up costing a bit more only retards like you who deserve a retard tax end up paying more
>>533581177C type chargers suck though they don't stay plugged in very well why can't they make a good plug
>>533581177Based EU.Total technofeudalism death.
>>533581527>Finally. It never made sense to me to get rid of the removable batteriesIt was always about having the phone be accessible by state security at all times.

>>533582098It was great for uptime as well. I had 3 batteries for my note 2. 2 normal sized batteries then a giant fuck all battery larger then the phone that could keep it up with the screen on for over 3 days. It mogs modern batterylet cuck phones. I miss Sprint. I didn't even have an SD card. My Mom thought I was too retarded to understand my own phone. RIP SPH L-900 best phone I ever had.ps I'll never buy another Shameslum phone after owning an A-15. Worst phone I've ever owned I consider smashing my phone at least weekly.
>>533582232>>533582268That's the program they use btw."Blueman"
>>533581527It does, waterproofing, phones were thinner and more solid, now even premium phone will be squeeky, thick garbage without IP cover
So happy I live in the US. Not in some socialist european shithole.
>>533581177>NOOOO NOT MY HECKIN BRANDSpro tip: if you cannot afford a phone, don't buy it. another pro tip: if your phone has a replaceable battery, you can replace it if it wears out, allowing you to save money in the long run.
>>533582317Sim card no wonder my mom thought I was retarded if I told her SD card sigh. Well the jokes on her never going to see that bitch ever again so that's a plus.
>>533581177The kingdom is good or bad depending on the king's mood today.
>>533581671Here's the reality. Batteries live long enough without breaking to survive longer than someone is willing to keep their phone so saving several cents on any retaining mechanism other than ahesive and probably up to a dollar on seals and so on is perceived as more worthwhile than letting you replace the battery.
All of you calling me retard and flaming me, this is what you are defending... let that sink in...
>>533582373The legislation only goes so far as to make it possible for end users to open up the device and replace the battery without a bunch of obscure tools, so you might see a few extra visible screw holes and have a gasket instead of glue but it won't make any real difference.
>>533581177Does it really matter anymore? My phone is over a decade old and the battery is still fine.
>>533581177ability to replace battery without voiding warranty (2 years in EU) is a nice thing - or even replacing it for bigger aftermarket version...
>>533581527It means more money for the phone manufacturers since you have to take it to their repair shop or buy a new one instead of replacing it on your own.
>>533582404drop your memeflag, friendo, and lets see how 'american´ you are.
>>533581527battery replacement was important 15 years ago when batteries were shit and your phone would outlive your batterytoday your battery is good for the lifetime of your phoneI have an 2017 phone with Android 8 and the battery is fine still I must replace it because my bank and broker apps won't work anymore, because jewsnothing to do with the battery tho
>>533581177Nice cope, if you pass the cost to consumers we will simply put bigger tariffs. Its literally that easy
>>533582804I never get over the simple fact just how hard you "people" are propagandised from early childhood on paired with the almost proud ignorance about it.
>>533582878ok, then I have no problem with that
>>533581177All (or most) phones used to have replaceable batteries, and were much cheaper than they are today.Passing what cost?
How can an union of boomers be so based (forced usb c ports and replaceable batteries, no questions asked refunds etc) and so out of fucking touch at the same time (online safety acts, digital ID, removal of physical currency)
>>533581177Tech jews BTFO
>>533582803Wrong maybe you subhumans should buy better phones. Like I said previously I'd still be on my Sprint SPH L-900 if the sprint network still existed. I'd still be on my last Moto if my new network would have accepted it. You get a screen protector and a case and your phone can last 5 years easily. Meanwhile your battery will be shit after 2. You'd think you'd be happy to have a phone you could drop into your disgusting thermos of "soup" and have it not break and have a replaceable battery that has to cost more then the 3 cents you're saving on heating the grain sludge.I did the math once Polish Soup Anon would be better served walking the streets looking for lost change then all of his "hard work".

>>533583525>Meanwhile your battery will be shit after 2how?are you terminally online?20 hours a day?
>>533583245>today your battery is good for the lifetime of your phoneThat's because the battery is the first part that breaks and when it does your phone is useless and thus you need to replace the phone because you can't just buy a 10 dollar lithium battery to swap it out and get 5 more years out of your phone.Battery capacity is often rated at cycles till 80%. For iphone that's about 500 cycles. If you use your phone that's about year and a half or 1.5% charge lost every month. In 10 years you will have a totally non functional phone.
>>533581177fuck you mutt, still waiting the trickle down to happen after 40 years
>>533581177>"eu" making devices more expensives to consumersOnly time will tell. Also keep in mind that a repairable device is worth more.
>>533583672>are you terminally online?>20 hours a day?Everybody is
it will never happen, being able to remove your battery means you can have the device be off and not reporting.
>>533583724then how is my 2017 phone still working?
>>533581177this is based and you shouldnt have von der hure as your picture.i have to assume that you're some sort of faggot, sorry.
>>533583724>In 10 years you will have a totally non functional phone.in 10 years no serious app will work on your phone anyway
>>533583832Imagine you could just swap out the batteries in your explosive pager...
>>533583819goddamned phonefags
>>533583947>in 10 years no serious app will work on your phone anywaySays who?
>>533583672most phone batteries are rated at 500 - 800 charge cycles (0-100%) - that just over 2 years for most people while charging daily...powerbanks are popular for a reason...
>>533581177Im surprised on the batteries. Its a good move for the consumer and waste generation but its a bad move for spying on your citizens when you can pull the battery.
>>533583525>Meanwhile your battery will be shit after 2Doubt.png.exe

>>533583875Depends on the model but most likely because you aren't using your phone. If you don't charge your phone the battery doesn't really degrade but neither do the other parts. I can pull up a functional nokia from 90's out of my garage too it doesn't mean that it somehow debunks the idea that batteries degrade and are almost always the first part that causes problems with modern phones.>>533583947That's another problem entirely but you don't always need to use modern apps. The phone has lost significant part of it's capability before it's totally dead anyways. If an iphone battery lasts 6 hours while in use and you use it to say watch videos or listen to music or something of that nature and after 2 years the battery has degraded so much that you no longer can go trough for instance a movie, commute or a walk with one charge the phone has lost functionality, something that could have easily been fixed with a cheap new battery
>>533584024I too charge daily, or rather, nightly >powerbanksso you charge your phone during the dayyep, terminally online no work, no school, nothing, just the phone
>>533584054you know phones can still spy in on at hardware level without a battery in the device.
>>533581454Maybe Nokia will unfuck themselves
>>533584088>Android 8, which was the last upgrade for my phoneHappened to my Huawei. But that's on me for buying huawei. It doesn't have to be like that. It's just another toxic business practice.

>>533582317>Worst phone I've ever owned I consider smashing my phone at least weeklyCare to elaborate?
>>533581527>Finally. It never made sense to me to get rid of the removable batteriesOf course it makes sense, because battery is the first thing to fail in your phone. Electronics can work for very long but the battery will degrade. By making it irremovable you basically force people to buy new phone the moment battery starts failing, as it would be not reasonable to spend this much money to replace it. Which is very beneficial for the jews that make the phones as they basically have planned obsolescence already being included. Making battery irremovable only benefits the company, not the customer. Which is why laws exist. If companies refuse to comply willingly, they will comply by law.
>>533582404>ameroca doesn't enforce the rules of capitalism on monopolies>become a dystopiaWow i sure envy them i wish i had 3 companies owning everything

>>533584817>force people to buy new phonethey have many other ways to do this, most easily, as already mentioned, OS/software incompatibility or EOL. I think they made batteries non-replaceable for ease of manufacturing first and foremost, but also so that it can be silently collecting data even when "off".
>>533581177- Make all the batteries standard/interchangable.- Seethe, butyou know it makes sense
can americans uninstall edge browser from windows without any program's help?
>>533581177Why is it only for phones? Why dont they do it to all he other groups of electronics where it would make sense. I recall when you could easily take out the battery of your laptop, now they are built in. And what about “smart” watches, tablets, in ear phones? Why are they exempt from having a replaceable battery?

>>533582404The tech sector is the most famous example of socialist state investment that there is.As Mariana Mazzucato has said, look at what Americans actually do, ignore what they say they do.
>>533581177> forcing USB-C> forcing repairability> forcing repair rating (France)> now forcing swappable batteriesYes, and this is a good thing.
>>533591756How about just charging your phone between 20% and 80%? Is it so hard?My phone battery has 90% capacity after 4 years left because i stick to it
>>533581177Another strange EU win for some reason.
programmed shabbos Amerigoys seething
Swappable batteries sound real good for military. Don't need to have have a separate powerbanks to haul around. Just throw new battery in and you're done and because military will just get thousands of single model they can all share batteries. All they really need is a way to charge the battery outside the phone.
>>533582373Oh well, time to actually innovate for once or be replaced by those who do. Its over kike.
Just wait until Stop Killing Games forces all games to not use controllers
>>533581177I don't see what the issue is with forcing repairability. They are making stuff these days you can't fix, it's designed that way so you need to buy a new one. Broke my oven door. New oven door cost almost as much as a new oven. Why? Literally could have a machinist personally make me replacement parts cheaper than a multinational corporation with massive production scale, why? The reason why is because they are fucking you. They want you to just buy new stuff because it makes them money and ppl are happy to pay cause they don't know how to fix anything, minoritys in the slums know how to fix things.
>>533581177pissing off mutt companies is one of the few things EU does right

>>533581971Germanistan should be nuked
>>533583245>today your battery is good for the lifetime of your phoneMine is 2 years old and the battery is (((coincidentally))) deteriorating right at the moment a standard phone plan would end. Replaceable batteries would triple its life because the difference between generations is basically nothing now. This is legitimately a €200-300 per year windfall to consumers.
No, American companies will crash and burn in the EU as they cannot sell their shit here anymore, that's what's happening.I already bought a "fairphone 6" and I can replace not only the battery, but also the screen or cameras etc.And guess what? It was HALF THE PRICE of an iphone with a custom OS that does away with jewgle and spying trackers. The phone literally warns me what apps are trying to track me and blocks it for me and I get a monthly report on what trackers it blocked for me. And it comes with a vpn in the OS too

>>533581177Fuck you for taking all the tranny hookers when RNC is in town.
>>533581177Why did they use AI for this pic?
>>533581177Fact: every single smartphone before the iphone had quickly replaceable batteries. Yes, even the waterproof ones. Applefags will start shilling in this thread that o-rings and screws don't exist and it's impossible to to waterproof a phone without glueing it shut using jamboy snot
>>533581177Why is /pol/ mad this is a good thing
>>533581177>Usb cIdc>repairabilityThis is obviously good>swappable batteryThis is also obviously good and lets you really turn the phone off (its not really off if you dont remove the battery)
>>533582404Market cap is not the actual value of the company, it's just latest stock price multiplied by stock shares in circulation.A pokemon card is not worth 1mio dollars just because there is a sell offer for 1mio dollars on ebay.
>>533581177EU laws on electronics, car engines, gender, and boatigrant-access-to-white-women rights are made by the same people>>533594856You can't keep a phone long-term even with good maintenance.I had an iphone - not iphoneS, one (1) unit - for 8 years. I had the battery swapped on it twice, a 15-min job that barely costs anything more than the raw battery itself if you go to an independent.Still, when the third battery started failing, instead of going for a third swap (where I would also need the motherboard swapped because the mic went out and I was relying on a jack mic for the last half-year), I had to decomission the phone because by then my fucking normie bank banned the phone from internet banking services and 2-factor authentification because it was TOO OLD.So I went with a brand-new phone - not a Jew-ppie refurb - because Apple promises security updates only for a few years, so getting a refurbed phone eats into your years of guaranteed service and the difference in cost doesn't justify it. The phone has 50% of its useful life left even with all-new hardware, and the price is much higher than 50% of a new phone.Even with a replaceable battery, the phone will soon become obsolete due to hackers and the associated security reqs.What I can get behind is forcing companies to make schematics available to independents and preventing supplier exclusivity agreements, so independents can source genuine new replacement parts.Forcing specific design features just leads to more enshittyfication.
>>533581177WE GET SMARTPHONES WITH REPLACABLE BATTERY ANGLOS ON SUICIDE WATCH

>>533581231The fibby
>>533593282They did innovate... They made a handheld electronic device so water proof people use them to take pictures underwater. Not anymore though thanks to the EU. And yes, you are way, way more likely to get your phone wet than it needing a new battery. Hell, the modern phone still has 70-80% battery life at 5 years and unless you keep it for 10+ years at which point the hardware is so outdated it barely performs you wont run into issues with battery life.

Can't look at US domestic websites without a shady VPN, they'll just give you a "we're not dealing with GDPR bullshit, so no service for you, sorry". Can't use a shady VPN on any portable device I could accidentally bring onto my company grounds or it will cost me my security clearance (been there done that, VPN only on desktop unlinked from my goy service accounts, defense job will throw a fit if I install a VPN on my laptop thag I bring to work).I mean, if GDPR's purpose was to raise the Great Firewall of Europe and Make the Non-Europeans Pay For It, it worked, but more and more, I believe mainland Chinese are more free than I am, glory to the CCP
>>533597808Exactly. EU niggers forcing global manufacturers to make my EU-market phone more shitty to squeeze out extra years of lifespan, which will be useless anyway due to the phone being technologically obsolete, is another example of Leyen destroying this continent, same as with the Euro-CAFE laws making gasoline cars suddenly more expensive than overpriced EVs.But when Leyen decrees nigger muslims have Right of First Impregnation over your wife, you'll just go around chanting how based and progressive the EU is, won't you, Goymoney?
>>533582404There is nothing more funny than people shilling trillion dollar corporation as if they're on your own team or some how improve your life.
