It is well known that the iphone has been using non-removable batteries since its inception. But recently, Washington state plans to legislate, in additional terms require that the future mobile phone batteries should not be designed to be non-removable. The main purpose of the bill is to protect the environment and prevent the generation of more e-waste considerations. However, from the user experience point of view, in the smartphone is usually a one-piece design, the fuselage is thinner today, mobile phone battery return is really reasonable?
The first thing to say is that although the apple is very cow, but really to open a lot of bad "atmosphere." From the non-removable phone battery design to the MacBook Cancel N multi-interface, to cancel the 3.5mm headphone hole, Apple cut off a lot of consumers are accustomed to things. More frustrating is, even if many people think is "anti-human" design, but as long as the Apple has a large number of manufacturers quickly follow suit.
Back to the mobile phone battery problem, removable and non-removable problems have been re-attached to the recent period of time. The problem is discussed again when the mobile phone battery is not removable and the design becomes the mainstream, because the industry and the public have discovered the drawbacks of the non-removable design. The advent of Apple's "reduced-frequency door" has made it possible to realize that when cell phone batteries are not removable, problems can burst-especially if they are easily manipulated by the manufacturer. In the final analysis, the non-removable cell phone battery greatly enhance the consumer's independent replacement of the threshold of the battery, and implicitly deprive them of their own right to replace the battery.
From another point of view, the non-removable battery will not only face the problem of performance decline after prolonged use, it is more likely to become a "time bomb". On January 10 this year, after-sales service staff at an Apple store in Zurich, Switzerland, exploded when they removed the battery from their mobile phone. On February 2, at the Hong Kong International Finance Mall's Apple retail store, two staff members were re-exploded when repairing the iphone. The frequency of similar events makes the security of the non-removable design a big question mark.
In addition, the design of the non-removable battery has become a problem in the process of second-hand and waste disposal. It is easy to produce more electronic waste, which brings more serious pollution to the environment. But this design is not useless, after all, can easily create an integrated body, but also can make the fuselage thinner, and consumer taste more fit. Moreover, the charging problem can also be solved by the quick charge function, charging treasure and so on.
Considering all the above factors, cell phone battery if from the non-removable return to the detachable design is not a setback, is not a progress, but a problem arises after the "compromise." In fact, the most important reason is that the cell phone battery has not been a substantial breakthrough over the years. If one day usher in a qualitative breakthrough, then all the problems on the battery can be solved. (New discoveries of science and Technology, Constantine/Wen)
