    It is called a rubber o-ring.

    That’s how other companies have been making water-tight compartments for batteries and other things for literally decades now. But all of a sudden, Apple wants to pretend this is some unsolvable problem. For fucks sakes stop acting like this is some insane ask, goddamn it.

    No other government body is as consumer-friendly as the EU, so I really hope this bill passes and forces Apple to comply. I am so sick of the bullshit from these megacorporations who are so big they just don’t give a flying fuck about what consumers want. And on the flipside, there are going to be a million Apple apologists who will side with Apple on this topic. Those bootlickers only make things worse for everyone.

      Just wait, Apple will solve this with a rubber o-ring and will receive heaps of praise for their innovation.

        You mean magic rings?! Or maybe they’ll be called i-rings.

        They’ll come up with some stupid ass name like that to make it seem like it is a proprietary thing. Man, I hate that company so much.

            replaceable by authorized dealers only

            I believe that same law doesn’t allow that, no? Or was it another?

        Whata the draw? What makes you pick Apple over something else?
