It is ridiculous that something as basic as having a user replaceable battery is considered an unexpected nice feature.

- alephnan 5y agoSome Tile models don't have replaceable batteries either. There's a tradeoff in form factor
- avipars 5y agoactually not much in mine... maybe in the tile slim ones though
- trissylegs 5y agoThe one on my keys is. The one in my wallet isn't. I suppose because there's not standard "Very thin" battery. Button batteries are the limit.
- spoonjim 5y agoFor something where extremely small size is an essential feature (unlike a laptop computer), battery replaceability is a direct trade off with that.
- tekknik 5y ago> For something where extremely small size is an essential feature (unlike a laptop computer) Say that to someone traveling for work.
- spoonjim 5y agoI traveled a lot for work and always carried a replaceable battery computer and two extra batteries. Battery life was lower back then though.
- amelius 5y agoDon't expect future models to have that feature, though.
- archon810 5y agoConsidering some of the tags cost $300+, I guess they had no choice.
- Avtomatk 5y agofinally a smart comment. (I never see a company as a friend, companies do not perform acts of kindness, they only seek to grow their profits (except in very rare cases)) There is so much innovation in science that it never materializes because it is not commercially viable for companies.
