    EU on a roll last view years. Wonder if there are going to be European models with replacable batteries and American without. You already see that kind of behaviour with Apple: end of this year you can side load apps in the EU but in America they are stuck with the app store (according to the rumors).

      That is easy in software only, in hardware you would neglect economy of scale. It is more likely it gets sold as an innovation in some form to safe money and face.

      A guarantee apple trying spin it into their own decision.

      Making two separate versions for the US in EU market would be really expensive so I doubt it’s gonna happen.

        They could use proprietary screws or add glue. Of course I’d just buy the EU model in that in case, but I wouldn’t put it past the mega corps to just be trashy because they can.

        It’s really expensive but they also might make really a lot of money with their current practice that makes it worthwhile to make two seperate versions.
