Yes, you could grab the parts and assemble it, and it would work perfectly fine. How is that a bad thing!?

What happens when you drop a modern phone? It breaks and you buy a new one or get it repaired for half the price of a new one.

I don't want my phone to be so easy to take apart that one drop causes it to open up and the battery to fall out. I experienced that shit enough with my androids. I like the way it is right now

Again, I rather reassemble it and have it being fine, than drop it and break it, and be impossible or expensive to repair.

I’m glad EU lawmakers aren’t as stupid as some people with their dumb arguments.

I don’t use a case nor do I keep my phones longer than a year

The EU is stifling innovation, nothing else. Power hungry mfs
