I’m all for consumer protection, but I don’t think demanding new hardware for free is reasonable at all. Making them easily available and replaceable would be.
It’s an alternative idea for a removable battery that they don’t want to give back to the consumers, not even the steam deck has this. Software updates are nice, but the batteries are still the main limiting factor on a phones usability. I know getting free battery replacements is asking too much, but their dark patterns are as well. Corporations have way too much leeway, power, and protections; I don’t care if they get hit hard with changes that help consumers.
What about the battery? I doubt they support free battery replacements for 7 years…
Attempts have been made to improve battery longevity in software, but at the end of the day battery chemistry sets the rules.
