Thank you for the added information and again, a great product!

I tried Jerboa for my first week but the mobile version of photon.lemmy.world https://phtn.app/ works so much better imo

I’m on GraphineOS so Sync for Lemmy isn’t ava. otherwise I’d try that.

EDIT: Changed site for the official Photon website.

I’ve been using it for awhile and love it! Highly recommended!

I’m gonna give that a try and see, before I spend time making an account. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah, I think that’s what I’m gonna do. I wanna try it out, I haven’t used any popular social network in years though.

Is there a need to have a lemmy and Mastodon?

Sure, DM me the details.

What’s the worst thing that could happen? I mean, we’re already spied on constantly anyways.

Me too 🙂

I have purchased many things, they have employees and bills to pay to put out a better product.

Same issue here but on mobile I picked NewPipe.

Desktop I just book marked my subs, signed out and enabled adblock. Loving it.

Yes, and it would still not require “any kind of technical expertise.”. That doesn’t mean the battery replacement process couldn’t include replacing gaskets, screws, tape during the process to ensure a safe and functional device since it’s still being opened. They may even sell it as a kit?

There is still so much left vague or not even mentioned, I just wish it was better off the bat. Of course, as mentioned it’s a step in the right direction but there are holes that could be filled before people get screwed over.

Yes, with basic and common tools. Doesn’t mean they have to be of quality, cheap metal screws for example. Hopefully not the case but it’d be annoying.

For example if they opt for the screw method, over the pop-off back (which I’d prefer). There will be screws to remove, most likely a gasket to replace, tape or something that ensures the battery doesn’t move around etc.

Even with current battery replacements, there is more parts then just the battery during the replacement. And of course “without causing damage” except if you have to remove the back that is glass and knock it off the table, that’s a +1 for apple, same if you loose a tiny screw or something else that is 1/1000 chance but Apple still makes money.

To be honest, some may be to an extent but I’ve heard of issues. The last one, I don’t see how it can be address “add more parts needed, like seals, screws that strip too easily, that annoying sticky tape etc.”. Because they may take extra steps to ensure durability and integrity (mainly to just make more $$ from those doing it themselves.).

I also find it odd because for me at least in the US, it cost me less than $100 for a iPhone 13 Pro Max battery replacement after a little more than 1yr of use, primarily went out due to extreme cold weather. Is the problem more towards a lack of authorized repair locations or their pricing? I’m sincerely curious what is the root issue here.

Yeah, that’s possible. I’m more worried about a built in battery chip preventing users from sharing batteries, like once it’s installed, it’s activated and it’s locked to that device. Meaning you’d have to buy only from that manufacture and the price will be higher.

I don’t see how you decide what my beliefs or views are by a single message, interpreted by you. Pretty unfair to assume not to mention when I already stated “Not a bad idea”. But your message makes a great point, the glass is half full and they have more work to make it full.

Of course it’s a step in the right direction. However, it could be better if they included more than just requiring the battery to be removable before hand. As is we have to wait until 2027, and then further delays for adjustments to be made etc. Why not spend the time now to add to it to ensure an available market.

Correct, as stated I agree with the good points made. But does make me question his character if his spent the last few months planning this. If it really mattered about the community being mislead it would’ve came out ASAP, not after his got his duck in a line putting together an ethics page, updating it with content for a couple months, skimming thru all content for errors and then BAM time for the kill.

Nobody will probably ever know weather that is the case, just imo I watch both pretty evenly and it’s like two parents fighting. Both imperfect and be hide closed doors just hoping the other backs down, otherwise the show must go on.

Information like this gives hope for a better tomorrow.

Although I think it’s too expensive, this is why we need frame.work to make a phone too (or any company to do this). Great idea, good products, their markup just seems too high imo.

Not a bad idea but there are flaws and this also doesn’t seem to address the issue of pricing or availability.

• So you can remove the battery, will you be able to buy one.
• They could prevent 3rd parties from making batteries that work.
• They could just not sell battery replacements.
• They could add more parts needed, like seals, screws that strip too easily, that annoying sticky tape etc.
