This is awesome! For only $450 you can get a machine that can automatically swap battery packs placed on bulky $120 phone cases.

You don't need to plug a cable in your phone anymore, your over engineered machine can swap battery packs for you

I never imagined that I would live this long to see the future

Why do so many western start ups come up with ways to make something simple complicated? This gives me lots of juicero vibes.

Juicero was an attempt at replicating the printer (or Razor and blades) model for juice, that's why.

They failed to consider that you can't squeeze blades. Maybe they should've added some to their bags as juice DRM
