Meme so old the battery is removable
And they will be again in a few years thanks to the EU
Finally, I don’t understand why it took so long.
Because money, what else
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.
iPhone batteries were never removable via back cover
That’s the screen, there’s a pull tab under the battery that you pull out and then you can remove it
That’s still a thing on current gen iPhones.
In the newer iPhones you can even get to the battery through the back of the phone. No need to remove the screen.
Honestly, it’s just the 14s that have the battery accessible through the back, and the back glass is still glued on, so it’s not even easier than previous generations. But removing the screen/back glass isn’t even the annoying part, it’s the awful adhesive strips that Apple uses that tear the instant you try to remove them. Always ends up with a bit of heat, alcohol and prying. Not really difficult to do if you have the tools on hand, but not even close to the ease of yesteryear when you could just pop the battery out.
I was going to make a comment about it not being glued in, but it turns out even as far back as the iPhone 6 you had to use head pads to release the adhesive
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
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.
You’re idiotic. You used to be able to do this on all phones without disassembling the screen .
Yeah because I fucking engineered the phone to be like that. It’s my fault.
The point is that by default today the battery of a smartphone is not removable by a random individual, it might not be super duper hard to do but you still need proper hardware and knowledge to do it.
10 years ago even my grandma could have swapped the battery.
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.
You all need to hit up Best Buy then, because you can buy a $200- $300 unlocked phone from which you can, in fact, pop out the battery.
Please for the love of god, tell me you idiots weren’t signing on to contracts and indebting yourselves to phone companies just to get access to shitty, locked, censored and controlled iPhones or Galaxies.
Edit: I count 8 idiots. Holy crap, how did you let yourself get schnookered?
I’ve been getting my Galaxies from Craigslist
Many people think that’s the only way of doing it. Just because you know about it doesn’t mean everyone else’s does, but yes, you can likely go to any electronics retailer and get an unlocked phone pretty easily
Not everyone lives in the US btw.
And please tell me, what phones in that price category have a removable battery (that aren’t complete shit, and the only feature is a removable battery)?
Ones that offer water resistance apparently
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

SAVAGE
“It’s unfixable, the only thing I could save is the call history, who cares about that, right?”
Fuck cheaters limo just show him the note and 100
Just show the note with the last line missing.
this has to be fake, you easily could just break the phone rofl
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”
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
He probably broke it in a rush, and then put the note in later.
Also she’s could jet get the call records from their provider.
Not if she’s not on the account.
this is fake and has been reposted in reddit way too many times.
does anyone think things like this are true? I assume they are all staged.
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.

See something say something lol 😆
(unless it’s someone stealing food, because you if you see someone stealing food, you’ve never seen someone stealing food)
What food?
🤷
Why not just fix it and wipe the phone
Maybe they have it synced to the cloud
Or—and hear me out—the photo isn’t a true reflection of real life, if that makes sense.
