You can already replace your own iPhone battery without any technical expertise. I hope the law is more specific than that, because there are many things OEMs can do to comply and still make it a giant pain in the ass to do.

As long as they can engineer a water resistant phone with these guidelines I'm all for it.

I'm afraid they will still find ways to make replacements expensive

Now upgradable storage and memory on apple computers please

[–] OskarAxolotl 8 points 1 year ago

The thing is, what Apple is doing with memory actually does make sense from a performance and efficiency standpoint. Modern CPUs and GPUs have become so fast that the time signals take to travel between components (like memory and CPU) has become critical (especially in their new M1 products as memory is being shared between the CPU and GPU). That being said, the same definitely isn't true for storage. Apple soldering SSDs to the motherboard is just them trying to rip their customers off.
