Would that be allowed on a plane? Looks like it could be considered a weapon.

18,000?! Damn that's a lot of battery.

I kinda like it.

But my phone tastes are not very main stream.

Just give me a goddamn removable battery dammit!

I would absolutely give us some compactness and light weight for Double the battery life.

Honestly I think the my iPhone, a 6S is too thin, I think it would be more comfortable able I’d it was twice as thick.

no argument there, but this thing is rather like asking someone for a drink of water only to have them blast you in the face with a fire hose.

This right here is truly the answer. When I had my Note 3 I had several spare batteries, and when one died I’d just swap it out. Boom. 100%.

No, you don’t seem to understand. Our batteries are the best in the business. And there is no need for memory if you utilize iCloud, which seamlessly synchronizes all of your photos, baubles, widgets, apps, gadgets, blingbits, and contacts among your 12 Apple devices and up to 5 household users, ensuring you’ll never find anything you really need and will remain a part of our planned obsolescence cycle as you throw your iPhone and iPad against the wall in anger every 18-24 months.

No! Why compromise battery capacity by having a removable? Maybe they should be offering a thicker phone for more battery, but in an age of widely available usb power banks, decreasing battery size and losing waterproofing (or making it drastically more complicated) is a terrible trade off.

The batteries only last a year and a half in my experience and I’ve never dropped my phone into water so give me the damn removable battery.

It’s planned obsolescence. My moto was never the same after I opened it up replaced the battery.

Still might be more compact that the Otterbox D efender?

My phone is 3.5 years old, my last phone was the same age when I replaced it. Neither has any noticeable decrease in max battery life. We aren’t talking early 2000s battery tech here (or at least we shouldn’t be, I don’t know what Motorola is doing).

The removable battery was great in my HTC EVO 4G, which sucked down battery, but the modern phones I’ve had seem fine in that regard. And carrying an external pack really isn’t much of a downgrade over being able to slap in a replacement battery. Meanwhile if you go replaceable, you are losing something like 20% capacity for a given size, because the battery needs more structure and protection. That 20% may be the difference between a phone that can make it through the day, and one where you have to be swapping the battery all the time.

Wow. My Samsung wasn't much better but I do listen to podcasts all day at work. That might be killing it.

With iPhones the irony is that removable storage isn’t really an issue, but Apple made it one to justify markups by releasing base models with stupidly low capacities like 16 and 32GB so they could get people to fork out an extra $100 for 128.

I wouldn’t expect that use much power (and in theory drops should be related to number of full charge cycles, though heat can play a role as well).

The phones in question for me are a Galaxy S7 (I was disappointed with initial battery life, probably due to the always on display, but it hasn’t lost anything noticeable from that, and you’d notice, because as I said, the starting point wasn’t great. It does rarely go insane and start draining like 1- 2% a minute, but that’s got to be some rouge app or poorly coded Samsung crap, because most of the time, it’s fine). The older one is an HTC One (M7) which was great throughout it’s life (I recall they switched battery types because they knew it would be bad to see significant capacity loss in a non-replicable battery). Until recently I had to use it from time to time because my blood pressure monitor didn’t work with my S7, and it seemed to be doing fine (in addition to the relatively impressive feat of holding charge for months at time while off).
