An unlikely-to-happen view from a different perspective - if other manufacturers' devices exhibit the same issue, we could probably, just probably, start having devices with removable batteries. The airlines could charge passengers to have the batteries stowed away in a "safe" condition (whatever it takes to keep them from catching fire even when isolated). I'm not the first to think about or wish for this. Many sites have (coincidentally) mentioned or wondered about the same. |

Of course, the battery is not much smaller than the phone itself, and removing it exposes the terminals of the battery, making it easier to accidentally short circuit etc. - it's probably safer to leave the battery in the device where it's already contained in one layer of generally non-combusting material.
