      And bigger batteries, and headphone jacks, and SD card slots, and front facing speakers, and the magnetic stripe thing for Samsung pay. I miss all that shit, and even the ir blaster for that matter. Phones used to be so cool, like I seriously don’t care if my phone is a few nanometers thicker if it actually makes use of the space

      No one is going to make them with a removable battery. They will however make them easily replaceable, which they already are.

          Isopropyl alcohol and heat removes them just fine. Watch some of the jerryrigeverything teardowns.

              You have an odd definition of permanent. I guess the screen is permanently glued down too?

              Jerryrigeverything takes the battery out on these phones easily. People already replace the batteries in them. How is that possible if they’re permanently glued in?
