I see. Thanks for breaking it down for me. So the Innovation is that apple is selling a single cell +20wh battery, that can be legally limited to below 20wh?

Speaking of using Chinese batteries in ROW phones: the cables are shorter on Chinese high capacity single cell batteries, so you can't exchange them in your European phone.

How is this new? There are plenty of Chinese phones with high capacity batteries. My current Xiaomi 15t pro as a example has a 5500mah, 3.93vdc battery (that's 21.62wh). And they just all shipping fine...

I drove an i3 rex, first generation. The gas motorcycle engine loved breaking down, due to disuse. Such an unreliable offence of crap. According to the dealership mechanic, the engine was packaged in a way that made the fluids collect in places they shouldn't.

So, what's next? Will Chrome ship with hard coded DNS, so that DNS based adblockers will stop working as well? Where (and when) does my rights what to display on my devices end?

It's probably a Lenovo board, which usually has most of the IO on a daughter board connected to the Mainboard. Only the USB-C that had the display port/HDMI alt mode sits on the Mainboard.
