Well, swappable batteries has the UX advantage of being able to swap in full charges.

I don't really understand all the complaining since it's merely a variant of the iPhone for people who prioritize thinness over battery.

For over a decade, HNers have complained that they don't want thinness to be forced on them and that there should be a separate SKU for it. Yet when it finally happens, HNers complain about the trade-off.



If the outcome is that non-air iPhones are allowed to get a little thicker now, that’d be super cool.


Consider that the folks complaining about one thing can be different groups from the ones complaining about another.


Either way, people have options now. If one doesn't like the compromises of the thin phone, they can buy the thick phone. Seems silly to complain about the thinness if you're not the target demographic.
