L4sBotIt's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027
JacktheladTbh, I don’t miss this.
Phone batteries generally last 3-4 years (sometimes longer depending on the size), and by that point it’s usually time to upgrade to a new phone anyway for the latest security updates and such.
That’s been true, but I wouldn’t expect the year over year differences of phones to continue indefinitely.
Advances were very rapid when it was a nascent industry, but it’s already slowed down significantly. It will slow more by 2027.
