  • I believe they might work for a bit of time, but with usage and eat they probably go bad and end up breaking. If you see on YouTube Rossman and others they've similar experiences.

    • Rossman is a device repairman tbf, he sees the worst of the worst phones out there.

      • He seems mostly iPhones, and his experiences with pull tabs are similar to mine.

        • Well, it is what it is. Maybe they could use better glue, idk.

          • Or simply avid that BS all together and hold batteries in place with screws and/or a simple metal slab holding it in place.

            • If they can do that without increasing the phone’s size/thickness or compromising its performance and/or battery life, I’d be all for it.
