Meme so old the battery is removable

[–] newIdentity 95 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And they will be again in a few years thanks to the EU

Finally, I don't understand why it took so long.

Because institutions are slow in that regard

Let’s wait for the final bill.

I do not thing we will return to user swappable batteries. It will just be easier to have a shop replace your battery. But that is just my guess. We do not know the final bill yet.

I'll take "this guy has no fucking idea" for $1000 thanks Brent.

Dude the battery is just as removable in the phone in this picture as any new phone today

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This comment is idiotic. That’s how every iPhone has been and still is. You can remove the display and can lift up the battery and replace it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're idiotic. You used to be able to do this on all phones without disassembling the screen .

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wait. You people can't remove the batteries from your phone? 🤨 My phone is only 2 years old and I can take off the back and remove mine whenever I want. The fuck kind of shit companies are you buying from?

There are only few devices with an easy to replace battery and I get some cynical vibes from your comment so you are probably aware. There are even less devices in the price class between 200 - 300€, a lot of people can't afford the Fairphone. Hopefully the EU will deal with that shit soon.

Ones that offer water resistance apparently

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't even know if I can, my phone is a literal tank weighing half a kilo. It has some weird bezels you can screw out but I never tried to see if they reveal the massive battery

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck cheaters limo just show him the note and 100

[–] MrBusinessII 4 points 1 year ago

Just show the note with the last line missing.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago (3 children)

this has to be fake, you easily could just break the phone rofl

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It is probably fake, but if my wife wanted to check the call history and suddenly the phone gets broken, she would get more suspicious than a just “It’s not powering on anymore”

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol for real, if you can open the phone to put the note in, you could easily just factory reset it and smash or zap a few things before shipping it, or like be a real fucking human being and be honest with your wife

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

He probably broke it in a rush, and then put the note in later.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also she's could jet get the call records from their provider.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not if she's not on the account.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this is fake and has been reposted in reddit way too many times.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

does anyone think things like this are true? I assume they are all staged.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It’s clearly fake because that’s not how the display comes off the device when you do this repair. You lift it from the top and keep the display cables connected, and only disconnect the battery cables.

(unless it's someone stealing food, because you if you see someone stealing food, you've never seen someone stealing food)

Why not just fix it and wipe the phone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe they have it synced to the cloud

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Or—and hear me out—the photo isn't a true reflection of real life, if that makes sense.
