"[The Librem 5] will also have a removable battery, a feature that Apple long ago abandoned in the interest of svelte devices."
@purism I don't think Apple ever had a removable battery on a mobile device. Maybe the G4 Macbook Pro from the PowerPC days?
Not saying removable batteries aren't a good thing, or that non-removables aren't a plan for obsolescence, but in practice I think raised expectations from increasingly complex software has been a stronger and faster factor in making hardware obsolete.
