Poll: do you care iPhone has no removable battery?
Maybe I’ve been conditioned by the “when in doubt, pull it out” self-mantra I’ve applied when my BlackBerry screen freezes.
In other words, if you can’t reboot your device naturally, just take out the battery. It will reset. This too, shall pass.
But now, we are to understand that there is a lack of a removable battery on the iPhone.
Every relevant gizmo I’ve owned, regardless of the brand, has always provided a way to take the battery out, and either put it back in or replace it effortlessly if that’s what needed.
Apple engineers surely have their reasons for this, but I can’t say no removable battery helps me in the comfort level dept.
You?
