I'm afraid they will still find ways to make replacements expensive

As long as they can engineer a water resistant phone with these guidelines I'm all for it.

I have think really really hard to find an event in the last 14years where I would have needed a water resistant phone. It doesn't need to be IP67

Now upgradable storage and memory on apple computers please

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The thing is, what Apple is doing with memory actually does make sense from a performance and efficiency standpoint. Modern CPUs and GPUs have become so fast that the time signals take to travel between components (like memory and CPU) has become critical (especially in their new M1 products as memory is being shared between the CPU and GPU). That being said, the same definitely isn't true for storage. Apple soldering SSDs to the motherboard is just them trying to rip their customers off.

God bless the EU. They are just so far ahead of the rest of the world on consumer protection (and much else). Will hopefully force everyone else into compliance.
