I am curious how Apple will get around that this time. I’m almost sure this will be as funny as the whole story about the USB-C cables

Simply remove the battery and sell iPhones with magsafe battery pack cases instead?

Hopefully all Apple employees are still on Reddit.

Lmao that’d be hilarious!

or just like the vision pro - a wired external power pack with a proprietary connector to the iPhone, but USB C on the power pack :D

They're now slowly moving to be repairable anyway, as far as i can see. Probably an Image thing.
