Exciting times for hackers !

It depends on the amount of extra batteries that are made. In 2022, 225 million iPhones were sold. If an extra battery for every phone was produced, but only half of those consumers ever buy a new battery then we are looking at over 100 million wasted batteries. Then eventually all of those 225 million consumers would get a new phone anyways, so it still becomes waste at some point. I’m sure they will get better at predicting how many extra batteries to make eventually though. I do wonder how much it’s needed these days though. I get a new device every ~ 18 months but my spouse uses devices for ~ 5 years before getting a new one. She usually gets a new one just because of newer features, battery degradation doesn’t seem to be as much of an issue anymore.

While I am for this, this could create more E waste. Now there will be companies producing more batteries as consumers can now swap out batteries. So it’s possible that tons of batteries now just sit on shelves for years and eventually end up going to waste.

Now you can get a summary of the best fake reviews!

Does anyone actually use either of those though? It’s always been more easy and convenient for me to just use my own phone.

Pretty soon all games will come from Sony, Microsoft, or Tencent.

Id be down to play this.
