@ShadowJonathan There was a lot of hype for a law mandating easily replaceable batteries, but it seems that wasn't that great after all, as the law meant that it only had to be easily replaceable by professionals.

I really miss my Samsung Note 3 which wasn't thicker than modern phones but one could just pop the back of it open and change the battery in a few seconds. I hoped that we'd get closer to that experience in the future.

@ShadowJonathan I mean everything in this article is a pretty good advance nevertheless. I just miss battery swapping in under ten seconds :p

@Hiro Tbh. even that is a win as it means that they can't stick everything together with glue requiring you to destroy the phone.

And "professional" can mean everyone who can follow a tutorial (e.g. from iFixit) these days. (And if someone really needs people in your local Hackspace will surely be willing)
