Oh no, poor Apple having to do a redesign. How can they ever afford that with their billions.

Why the headlines only mentions Apple, when it's for every manufacturer?

The industry will spend billions on R&D to develop such an outrageous solution. Batteries... that can be... replaced! Who could think that would be a good idea?
