    The new ranger is just a tiny bit smaller than the f150 It absolutely is not the same or even close to the size of ranger 20 years ago.

    The closest in size “truck” to the old ranger is the maverick… but thats a unibody UTE, hardly comparable.

    Uh, no. That would only be true if all models of phone from the same factory were made exactly the same way with the exact same machines. That’s not the case. They make different models of phone. They could easily make one model with a user replaceable battery and a different model without one.

    Sure… if there was enough demand for replaceable batteries… but there is not. Basically the vast market is content with the cheaper option.

    That’s a BINGO! So if that’s true, then they absolutely had the ability to do that for the first decade of smart phones.

    Again… smaller battery smaller capacity… a battery of the same physical size 15 years ago was much less enegry dense.

    Its ok. You can be wrong. Just learn from the experience.

      You said you couldn’t buy a small truck, not that you couldn’t buy a truck the same size as 20 years ago.

      Sure… if there was enough demand for replaceable batteries… but there is not. Basically the vast market is content with the cheaper option.

      There was a demand, we weren’t given a choice. I’m not sure how this so hard for you to grasp.

      Again… smaller battery smaller capacity…

      Again…Just making the batteries non replaceable makes them able to be thinner, and they always had that ability. They also had the ability to put in smaller batteries if everyone was clamoring for super thin phones. They just weren’t.

        A. I clarified to find me one of the same size as a 1990 model.

        B. Isnt this exactly the same argument your making? There is huge demand for small trucks, the ranger was a top seller when it was discontinued. And when it was brought back, its a slightly smaller version of the f150, and nothing what people want.

        They also had the ability to put in smaller batteries if everyone was clamoring for super thin phones. They just weren’t.

        You really are that dense. The battery tech was not there to allow thinner phones without compromising capacity. The strongest market desirablity is battery life. But people also want smaller phones. Hell, futurama made this joke in 2001

          Good for you.

          No, you don’t carry Ford Rangers around in your pocket all the time making them easy vectors to spy on people.

          The bagtery tech was not there to allow thinner phones without comprismising capacity.

          And if people really gave a fuck about thinner phones they would have accepted smaller “bagtery’s” to get them. Clearly capacity was more important. So I guess people weren’t chomping at the bit to get thinner phones now were they?

          But people also want smaller phones.

          Phones have been getting bigger not smaller.

            To… wait for it… accommodate larger screens. Shocking i know. You know exactly what i meant by smaller.

            Riddle me this. Why would you carry a phone…without a battery?
