    It’d also go well with modern battery packs, because you can just have a spare battery sitting and charging away in your bag, and can swap it on the fly, without having to have a cable dangling about that might get caught on things, or bent the wrong way.

    The only downside with a replaceable battery is that you have to switch the phone off to do it, but that’s small potatoes for effectively charging the phone to full in an instant.

      Back when I had a LG V20 I didn’t even bother to plug in the phone, I would just swap the batteries once or twice a day and never need to worry about charging. Super useful, especially when you’re away from home.

      Side note, I wonder if it would be possible to add a second smaller battery to the phone to keep the phone on for the minute or two that you’re swapping the battery, so it never needs to turn off. It’s not a huge issue, but it would be pretty convenient if possible.
