    Right, but that’s not why companies started soldering batteries. Yes, there’s truth in the concept that with some features you may trade some repairability for some portability, but it’s not like it’s a 1:1. It’s close enough to the truth that it makes a good lie, but if you think Apple’s resistance to allowing users to repair their phones is actually because of decisions made by engineers rather than decisions made in board rooms, I have a bridge in Florida to sell you.
