"Why the Galaxy S25 Should Bring Back the Removable Battery"

With Samsung and Google offering seven years of updates for their smartphones, the return of removable batteries in devices like the Galaxy S25 is being advocated due to issues such as battery degradation, swelling, and replacement costs. The European Union's mandate for removable batteries by 2027 and the convenience of easily swapping out batteries are additional reasons for this push. Manufacturers need to align hardware commitments with software promises to ensure that extended updates are meaningful for users.

A driver in California shared his "true misery" after his 12-year-old Nissan Leaf's battery degraded to a range of only 25 miles. After traveling just 15 miles, he was stranded in a parking lot with a dangerously low battery. He encountered broken charging stations and had to wait in a "creepy" parking lot infested with mosquitos for over an hour before finding a working charging station. Another Nissan Leaf driver also experienced a dead battery just feet away from a charging point and had to push his car to the station.

"Apple's iPhone 15 Introduces Enhanced Battery Features to Tackle User Complaints"

Apple has addressed complaints about battery degradation in the iPhone 14 by introducing new battery health features in the iPhone 15. Users now have the option to limit charging to 80% of maximum capacity, which helps slow down battery degradation. Additionally, the iPhone 15 provides detailed information about battery manufacturing date, first use, and cycle count, allowing users to monitor their charging habits and identify any potential battery issues. These features may also benefit the second-hand market by providing buyers with more information about the device's battery condition. It remains unclear if these features will be available on older iPhones or how they interact with serialized battery components in the new model.
