Imagine if you could easily swap a new battery in. Heaven.

Thing is, you used to be able to do that. Then they quetly took that option away.

I paid someone to replace the battery in my Samsung S10E. The battery was never good in that thing to begin with despite all my favorite tech YouTubers saying otherwise. Anywho, I think the repair shop must have gaevin me a bunk battery because it was worse than before. Got a pixel 7 last year. I definitely would have preferred to just be able to swap the battery myself.

Usually pulled from another phone they practically got for free for parts and gives them great profit margins.
