If you want shit with removable batteries, cool, go out and make your demands heard.
They have. That’s why the regulators are making these laws.
But why should your demands be pushed onto everyone else as “pro-consumer”
It’s pro consumer because it benefits consumers. As of right now, most portable electronics have a built in expiration date. Most people lack the skills to replace a built-in battery and official stores rarely do replacements, so it’s down to a 3rd party shop which is difficult for less knowledgeable consumer to find.
It’s the same reason why we have any regulations against anti-consumer practices. It’s because these practices often rely on deceptive practices and consumers ignorance. In this case, the consumers are not informed that the device they are buying is built to expire after a few years.
I don’t see any argument you could make about usb-c or removable batteries hindering your usage of the device.
Most countries mandate that products come with a warranty. I haven’t heard anyone saying “what if I want to buy a product without a warranty?” Because why would you?
Lol says apple simp. See how that’s not actually a counter argument see how you actually have to explain your points in order for them to be valid and see how you failed to do so because every single point you come up with lacks evidence.
You have said that it is impossible to make efficient batteries that a user replaceable, but you have failed to demonstrate why this is the case. Phones have historically had use of replaceable batteries for years it’s been fine. Manufacturers just realized they could force people to buy new phones more easily if they didn’t make the batteries replaceable, it’s got nothing to do with efficiency, and everything to do with anti-consumer capitalism.
Try not talking like this, you’ll have more meaningful interactions in your everyday life which aren’t immediately hostile to everyone actually engaging with you, resulting in mutually beneficial discussions rather than the arguments you’re clearly constantly looking for.

Because companies are not providing products with removable batteries so the consumers refusing to buy products with non-removable batteries doesn’t work because there’s no alternative product to purchase. Manufacturers know they have consumers in monopoly so they have no reason to change.
What about the consumer that doesn’t give a fuck about usb-c or removable batteries?
The USB c-thing is not just about user friendliness it’s also about the environment. Constantly having to throw old charges away because their incompatible with new products produces an enormous amount of e-waste, everyone using the same charger reduces it, which is only a good thing. Also the Apple charger which is what I’m assuming you’re going on about is actually less safe than the usb-c standard. I think we can all agree that manufacturers should use safer options when they become available.
Why should they be made to buy products designed around standards that aren’t important to them?
If a product has a feature you don’t care about, why do you care, just don’t use it and you’re fine.
Again, you aren’t specific, you just throw random stuff around.
Don’t bother then, since you haven’t bothered to say why this is bad for consumers/everyone and instead spent the past two posts avoiding it completely.
It only has to be better for most people for this to be a net gain. Nintendo won’t otherwise provide us with a choice of whether or not the battery is replaceable.
I downvoted you because every comment from you makes you more of an ass then the previous. You spouted your nonsense opinion and then refused to even elaborate it - either you are here to troll or you have no arguments. However in the end you are just a rude ass.
I wish the EU would just stop getting their grubby hands ibto everything they possibly can
its for the environment… EU has set carbon emission goals etc by 2030, and 2050 ?
batteries are terrible for the environment…
but one thing that is worse is… throwing away a used phone because the battery is terrible, because replacing the battery is gonna cost the same as a new phone.
my last 3 phones, for example, where all replaced because the battery was shit. unable to replace it without paying the same as a new phone…
making products having a replacable battery (available to purchase as well) will cause fewer products to be produced, meaning fewer emissions.

Products with non-removable batteries are bad for the environment in a number of ways. They hurt even the ones not interested in the product.
Removed by mod
And the ones getting hurt don’t want to.
How dare they make things better for us!

Now try that again and explain why it’s not better.

Lmao. Are you 12 or something? Dude asked for your reasoning so he could better understand why you don’t want it.
How does replaceable batteries affect your consumption in a negative way? I think we’re all curious on this one.

The alternative is that a minority decides what you’re able to buy.
This guy’s whole comment history section is about arguing and being a contrarian. I’ve tagged him as such.
I guess some trolls found their way over.

Yes I’d like one complaint, hold any rationale or reasoning. Thank you.

also the old batteries have to be recycled 100%.
