Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

It's so dumb that a standard hasn't been developed yet. Like AA/C/D, 18650 batteries, etc. They could have modular batteries with different sizes and capacities that work interchangeably.

BL-5C is becoming a de facto standard size for random electronics, but it's too small for a smartphone.

It took forty years for aa batteries to become a standard. They were a trademark type by I think everready.
