Or..just make a damn removable battery And allow people to buy new batteries. I don't need my phone to charge in half a second with a high chance of it exploding or killing itself from being charged at high speeds...I just want to be able to replace the shit you glued in

honestly agreed, I don't mind the fast charging, but I would love removable batteries. Even if it meant shorter life spans. like I used to be able to pay 20-30$ on a battery and replace it, but now you need adhesive and a heat gun
