Makes me think of either the Fairphone or the Nothing Phone that originally advertised that it could be used as a desktop computer thanks to USB-C ports and I thought that was a brilliant notion. I really don't see why Apple couldn't just do the same. I mean, I can see why (DAT MONAY!) but it would be awesome for folks to have such flexibility with their devices.

Been doing that with a Librem 5 for many years.
Librem! That's the phone I was thinking of, not the others
I think the fairphone is also a Linux phone, so that would work the same. Nothing however is yet another android-but-private-this-tiime
I’ll care about climate change the day they do.
But every time I need to throw away perfectly good electronics makes me resentful of the idea that climate change is our fault any further than the fact these fucking people breathe air in Minecraft.
That's like saying 'my partner and I smoke, in the house, and we should both stop because it's killing us and our family members who don't smoke. Even though I have the ability to stop, or otherwise drastically reduce my smoking, which would be beneficial to everyone, I'm just going to continue because they won't stop.'
Zero logic here.
