[–] DrinkWater 13y ago ↗ hmm, so my battery will be fucked up in no time, the back of my phone which is (usually) made of plastic will get scratched or broken, but, thank you oh lord, my screen will live forever.Seriously, this industry needs to reshift their focus. [–] roberto 13y ago ↗ What's the problem of scratching the back? It will still be 100% functional, as opposed to scratching the screen. [–] MetaCosm 13y ago ↗ ... what? You think the industry should focus on the back of phones being scratched rather than the screen? How is this related to battery tech? [–] DrinkWater 13y ago ↗ wow.... that was just to emphasize that modern smartphones/mobiles are not built to last. Should i trace the other wires for you as well?
