This is awesome! For only $450 you can get a machine that can automatically swap battery packs placed on bulky $120 phone cases.

You don’t need to plug a cable in your phone anymore, your over engineered machine can swap battery packs for you

I never imagined that I would live this long to see the future

    “There’s no AI of dubious value”

    The whole thing is of little to no value. Maybe a good idea for people with physical limitations like bad arthritis where swapping a battery might be difficult, but for the average person it’s tech vaporware waiting to fail.

      At which point even the ones who it does help will no longer be able to use it because it probably depends on an online connection for no good reason.

        Didn’t even think of that, but true. The device would only work as long as a service provider is willing to support it. Or your subscription runs out.
