Re: Phones with replaceable batteries
" (given that people weren't buying the spare batteries when they were available and thus no profit from them)"
People didn't buy them much because they were an item that if you needed it, you *needed* it, resulting the high street pricing them at a ridiculous mark-up that made a big dent in the cost of a new phone and made the idea of having a spare look extravagant. If enough people had been shopping online a wee bit earlier, and not been beholden to greasy electronics retailers, I think things would've looked different.
