alt Hacker Newsgive me a battery door and a charging cradle so I can have two batteries, one that charges on the cradle and one in the phone to use and I'll swap them whenever I need, and never have to wait.
The same way my Game Boy worked in the nineties with NiMH batteries. Why did we abandon that pattern?
Replaceable batteries require thick case and also it's not easy to make the case waterproof. Consumers prefer thin waterproof cases.
