So I just heard about this issue with the iPhone battery and felt the need to write about it. Now, I'm not going to claim to be an expert about electronics, but does it really make sense to solder a battery into a phone? As cell phones have gotten smaller and more powerful over the years, one thing that was easy to count on was being able to replace the battery when it died. In fact, this holds true for cordless phones as well. Now here comes Apple with a stupid mistake like this. Perhaps they are expecting the battery to last for 2-3 years until they have a second generation phone available, I don't know.
I do know this much, there is no way I would pay $499 for a phone in the first place and even if I could afford such a thing, what happens if I get a bad battery that dies within a month or two..???
