Indeed it does sound good news! I wonder how much they will cost though?...

I don't think it will increase phone prices. No phone maker will want to be the one who doesn't use the technology.

Good news for everyone as long as the manufacturers go with it.

I bet they will resist until one of the "built in brigade" uses it.
Battery replacement sales are big business

What a leap in future tech that would be.

Not sure 3rd party manufacturers would be overly happy.
