And funnily, the shorts player on mobile has some of those features.

AC doesn't just help with temperature though, it also helps with humidity if it is a humid heat outside. Makes it much more bearable even if the temperature difference might not be huge.

Long term, yes

Short term probably not, as it fluctuates year to year

Looking at the voting results for younger generations, this isn't even close to this simple. Yes, there is a slight shift towards more environmental policies/parties, but it is far from a majority even in the youngest age bracket that is allowed to vote (looking at voting results from the last general election in Germany).

True, however the powerbank always was just a backup for peace of mind in unusual circumstances (long hike or similar). Its not like I'd regularly need more than a single charge a day.

Never had that. I used to carry a power bank on longer hikes though. Has a few pros over a replacement battery (multiple recharges, device independent, not as flimsy etc.) at the cost of being bulkier.

And it had completely different innards and battery capacities. Just grabbing that old battery and putting it in a new phone would seriously limit the runtime on a single charge. Which is kinda the point, I really hope we don't trade replaceable batteries for the need to recharge twice a day or switch batteries to even make it the whole day. Or have a noticeable bulkier phone that won't fit as comfortably in my pocket. Or that it may not survive the rain shower I got surprised by because they skimped on the water proofing.

Do those have the same size and weight requirements a phone has? This isn't about "can this be done", it is a question about "which compromises do we have to accept to make this happen".

You know you can get the battery replaced, right? Not as cheap as buying a replacement yourself, but not that much compared to a 1000$ phone.

you won’t realize how bad it is until you’re already dead

Not sure you'll be realizing it even then.

I'll see myself out

But what about the interweb/Interweb? And why is the symbol a blue e with some lines through it if it starts with an i/I?

/s

Uh, leds for a long time only were available in green and red. The invention of the blue led came rather late, leading to the explosion of led use because now you could finally show all the colors in a display (and create white light).

I hope so, but a sturdier packaging for the battery with a solid connector, space for a bunch of screws, reusable gasket instead of just glue etc. all takes some space.

How old is that phone if you don’t mind me asking? My battery seems to lose about 2-3% a year but that seems unlikely in this case.

I don’t know the current state, my Galaxy S4 mini was shipped with android 4.3 and it never even got 5 from Samsung. Custom rims delivered but 6 wasn’t available at all (plus the hardware struggled at that point).

I really wonder how common that is. I how do you use your phone to get battery issues that quickly. Or what type of phone has those issues. To me this seems like a rare occurrence, an exception not the norm.

Every phone is a compromise, size, weight, how much space you use for battery, how much for ports, how much for easy accessibility. As I understand it, I won’t be able to get one that sacrifices easy accessibility for the other stuff. I just hope the compromises won’t be too bad.

Not sure how long I had the S4, a few years I guess. Started with android 4.3 and dropped it some time after 6 was current (which I couldn’t get). My Fairphone 2 broke, not that long for that one. The iPhone 6s lasted about 5 years, my 12 is still going strong.

Every phone with removable I had had a pretty flimsy back cover that started to crack during the lifetime of the phone. The gaskets started to go or weren’t even there in the first place, so they weren’t even splash proof (so better avoid getting rained on or even get sweaty).

And none of my phones ever required a battery replacement during its life time. My Galaxy S4 mini ram out of support, I flashed it with a custom rom then that stopped being supported (and the hardware really couldn’t deal with later android version). My Fairphone 2 started crashing regularly which ended its life. And my iPhone 6s had a solid 5 year life with no battery issues before I retired it to get a better camera.

So for me requiring every phone to have an easily replaceable battery has pretty much zero upsides but a bunch of potential downsides.

I never had to change my phone because of battery issues.
