Not long ago, we were brushed by a piece of news: The Washington, DC, U.S. government recently plans to legislate for the maintainability of electronic products: cell phone batteries are stuck to the motherboard with glue, artificially increasing the difficulty of repairing and repairing, which is inconsistent with the principle of environmental protection and reuse. Therefore, the battery must be removable and replaceable , And this is to greatly increase the maintainability of battery products.
After the news was released, it resonated on the whole network. Most people think this is a good thing outweighed by the disadvantages. But is the fact really so?
Jobs has changed the entire mobile phone market
In 2007, Jobs with iPhone 2G appeared in everyone's eyes, this is Apple's first iPhone, is the world's first non-removable battery design, at the same time, created a mobile phone with non-removable battery precedent.
In fact, this event would have been a very good thing, but if Apple can always adhere to the heart, I believe no one will come up with 'removable battery cell phone design' this thing.
The reason why the U.S. government put forward this bill, I believe absolutely with the previous 'iPhone down frequency door' can not be separated At that time, when the U.S. courts received more than 20 prosecutions against Apple, the compensation amount even exceeded the current market value of Apple, we can imagine how serious this incident was.
We can not deny that Apple is indeed a very powerful technology giant, but in recent years it has brought us so many unfavorable real anti-humanities.
Mobile phone battery is not removable This is only one, of course, I personally think this is still a pros and cons of this let's elaborate later.
A few years ago, Macbook canceled N multi-interface , We have to choose and buy N more data conversion plugs, data cable to deal with, Apple think this design is very cool, but the user miserable.
Phone cancel 3.5mm headphone jack , Apple's understanding is to improve the sound quality, mobile phones have become thinner, but now it seems that parts profitability may be the most important reason.
iPhone memory cancellation 32GB, 128GB , Forcing you to start more expensive 64GB and 256GB, in fact, for many people, this memory simply use up, but no way, want to use have to accept.
In fact, there are many, we will not go into details.Apple cut off many, many consumers have been accustomed to things, but people are even more uncomfortable is that, no matter how Apple does, even if everyone is calling it 'anti-human 'Design, but as long as what Apple introduced, soon a large number of domestic manufacturers to follow up.
Back to the mobile phone battery removable This issue has now been re-raised and quickly became the topic of popular discussion, largely due to the industry and users have gradually found the shortcomings of non-removable design, 'iPhone The emergence of the "frequency reduction door" makes people realize that when the cell phone battery can not be disassembled, all kinds of problems are likely to burst out. So, what are the advantages of the cell phone detachable battery so that we are so crazy about it?
The advantages and disadvantages of cell phone removable battery to us
With the continuous development of smartphones, it has become an indispensable electronic product in our daily life. We use it every day for almost every day: WeChat, QQ, payment, shopping, travel, etc., and the battery power of mobile phones gradually becomes our Most worried about the problem, if it is, we basically will be equipped with a cell phone or batteries, no electricity can be directly removed for replacement.
But now, there are few pros and cons of the removable battery cell phone that can be seen on the market. What do I summarize?
The benefits of a non-removable battery are as follows
The first point: the body more compact
The all-in-one body can be a cellphone that's lighter and thinner, and results and wires inside the cellphone can be placed more tightly together.
Look more beautiful, there is no extra gap, to prevent yourself from repair.
Second point: easy maintenance engineer
As the battery is not removable, the problem caused by man-made very few, if there is a problem can be directly after-sales, the machine itself to find the reasons, do not have to go ask the user.
The third point: safety and stability
Frequent replacement of mobile phone batteries can easily lead to poor battery and cell phone contacts and other issues, can greatly improve the stability of mobile phones.In addition, if the detachable design, users will certainly choose cheaper third-party battery there are good and bad Universal charge, cell phone security issues greatly reduced.
Cell phone can not disassemble the battery as follows
The first point: going out of trouble is inconvenient
The rapid development of smart phones, we can not give up the phone.This means that the phone's battery power will drop rapidly, out of the necessary charger, charging treasure, data cable, mess put together, really inconvenient.
The second point: cell phone crashes can only wait
Although the rapid development of mobile phones, but whether you are over a million flagship mobile phone, or cost-effective thousands of machines, are inevitably a 'crash' problem, we can remove the battery before, and now sometimes we can only stare Look, there is no way to restart even.
The third point: life is a big problem
This is the most concern for users, and now the smart phone battery can not be used to support the heavy use of the day, although it can not be used before, but the former convenience, removed to replace the full blood can be resurrected.
The benefits of a cell phone detachable battery are as follows
Here is a direct summary to everyone, the biggest benefit may be that we can do at any time to disassemble, ready for the battery, do not worry about battery life, like how to play on how to play each time just go out in the pocket to install a battery OK .
Disadvantages of removable battery phone is as follows
Mobile phone back to removable battery design, the quality of the phone is difficult to be guaranteed, if the frequent replacement of the battery will lead to loose back cover, but then there is a large number of people's cell phone back cover is not compact.In addition, if you return to the cell phone battery The demolition of the era, there will certainly be many unscrupulous traders to create 'rubbish battery', shoddy to sell high prices, garbage when the original is very easy to be deceived, which we have not thought of.
If in my personal opinion, I very much hope to be able to return to the removable battery era. Now go out with a charging treasure, data cable, etc., and sometimes may be wrapped with the headset line may be wrapped with cosmetics Together, prolonged winding of the data cable may result in wear and tear. When the rubber of the data cable is exposed from the bare wire, there is a high probability of a fire when charging at home.
Of course, the pros and cons of the I just made a small summary, welcome to add.
We can support but phone makers will definitely collapse
Before we say that the phone back to the pros and cons of removable batteries, but also a simple overall look at the problem, if these problems put down to the user and mobile phone body? I thought, maybe we will have a large number of people to support this Kind of policy, however, handset manufacturers, especially Apple will definitely obstruct, and will have a headache.
Mobile phone back to removable battery design We definitely have to give both hands support
As we continue to the pros and cons of the previous page, cell phone battery white or a consumable is more a chemical.According to scientific understanding, cell phone battery is the use of electrochemical chemicals away from the release of electrical energy, internal materials are Consumed.
Capacity and life expectancy will be reduced over time, or even damaged.Although the current use of lithium battery materials, but the average daily charge is a large current release, the battery life even worse than before, and other durable electronic devices The use of this asymmetry, the short battery life caused by the barrel effect, accelerate the overall cell phone aging. This inconvenience is not acceptable.
Mobile phone does not remove the battery means that when we have to replace the battery or replace the battery, the official replacement cost of the battery + hand fee plus casual scattered together, long over the price of the battery itself, but we can only Complain verbally
In addition, if the phone back to the demolition of the era, we do not have to take the data cable, charging treasure running around the world, go out just a piece of the battery to get the .For our users, this is a great convenience, but also the most Important point.
Absolutely miserable for handset manufacturers
Although the mobile phone battery design is very powerful for us, but certainly not for mobile phone manufacturers think so, especially the original design of the integrated design of the Apple, they simply have no removable battery phone, if all the redone, no doubt Is a huge challenge - the design drawings to be re-done, the user replacement frequency will be greatly reduced.
Not long ago, iPhone popular frequency event, in the final analysis is the cell phone battery aging, whenever such a thing, we can only seek help aftermarket, if the battery is removable, we can directly buckle the back cover will be good. The design, he said that you are aging battery, that is, you can not do not battery, basically have the final say after sale, the benefits naturally go up.
In fact, to say more or more for the benefits and cost of these two aspects, we do not deny that mobile phone manufacturers use a one-piece design will make the phone more beautiful, waterproof airtight to do better, but the phone as our daily life Part, is not it should be more convenient and convenient it.
Now the phone as long as there is a problem, replace it is quite troublesome.Also with the replacement of smart phones faster and faster, many people change the speed of mobile phones is also faster, and every time the reincarnation, are handset manufacturers with A new round of purchase boom.
Non-removable battery does have great advantages, which we can not deny, the most important thing I can think of is Original quality with Lightweight design This is certainly a good thing for people who often use cell phones without regard to the economy, but for the vast majority who want to be more comfortable with the machine, those who are real users can only be 'forced' to accept Dilemma.
If legislation passes through us we can see these changes
Now that the U.S. government in Washington has proposed this legislation, it means that it is really possible to return to the era of removable batteries. Then I will summarize all the changes we can think of in the future.
Bulky charging treasure
If legislation passes through us we can see these changes
1, mobile phone thickening is affirmative, but I think this really no need to be more true this 1mm or 2mm, I dare say that most people buy a mobile phone will definitely buy a phone case, plus the thickness of the already than the Before the removable battery cell phone is thicker, you do not even care about this, a thick 1mm, 2mm what is the relationship.
2, the performance of waterproof and dustproof will certainly decline, there are removable batteries before the phone reached IP67 level of protection, but that is an example, more manufacturers still fail to reach this level, if before the IP67 level, after redesign May be reduced to IP66 or IP65 level.
3, a variety of sensors on the phone may reduce the number of course, of course, I can not insure this point for everyone, and now technology is so developed, which is also not allowed to question anyone.
4, universal charge will re-rise, but the old section of the traditional universal charge or forget, does not support fast charge (previous universal charge power of 4.2V / 400mA), but very uncomfortable thing.New support fast charge universal charge Back, the battery is no longer used as before carefully, like how to play how to play.
5, mobile phone charging treasure industry will gradually decline or even die, we no longer need to travel in the future to carry heavy treasure, clutter of the data line.
6, the phone is not removable battery on the phone hardware layout, body design and body protection performance will have an impact to the iPhone X, for example, the internal use of two-stage L-shaped battery, the design and the phone motherboard fit extremely High, if replaced by a detachable design, Apple's new technology developed by Barra will be redesigned.
From a personal point of view this matter can be implemented is still very large, but also for the benefit of users is definitely outweigh the benefits, of course, now just put forward the legislation, want to implement will pass a very long period Way to go.
However, no matter what we say, we all hope that smartphones will get better and better, and we also hope that smartphones will be more convenient and more user-friendly Mobile phone manufacturers are worthy of our full support, for those everywhere against the user, can not buy, design unreasonable to let it buried in the dust of history.
