eWaste is caused by all kinds of things and one thing that is easily solvable is replaceable batteries. I also hope that it will be forced for all phones, people shouldn't be able to pay a little extra to destroy the planet

I remember well the time of replaceable batteries, they were changed much more often than they should have been. More batteries are changed - more lithium waste. And I also remember very well how when the phone fell, these batteries flew out and were damaged, and I also remember well how these batteries burn from mechanical damage and they cannot be extinguished, because it is a chemical reaction.

There are pros and cons everywhere, so far I see more cons.
