It shouldn’t be too long now before the EU implements its regulation that requires phone batteries to be “easily replaceable with simple, easy to access tools”, right?
That’s going to be monumental for the lifespan of these devices, especially as phones get software support for longer and longer these days.
Simply having a pull tab like most phones or that electrical release like Apple does is enough to satisfy the EU regulation. The batteries need to be easily replaceable without special tools by repair shops (first and third party, certified or not).
