Cylindrical cells still and will have their place as that is a universal size. Panasonic sells 21700's by themselves. Would be awesome to upgrade to that size. Also, in a way; this is like a step back to dumb-down. For every device with a battery in it that you no longer want then what?Maybe. But will future cells still have the same characteristics, size, and voltage of current 18650 cells we need for our flashlights? Or will they be dumbed-down for consumer use?
This is the reason why when i was looking at power banks. Went with a removable 18650 power bank instead of the "consumer version"
I have yet to hear anything being official from Panasonic. Would be a bold move if they do. China will have no problems filling in this gap lol.
