Being able to have a spare battery in case of emergency (or simply app train/bus tickets) is going to be nice. It's going go be exciting to see how apple will try to circumvent this.

i believe the law is more about easily being able to replace a battery for repair than being able to swap it on the go

that would make sense. Being able to "easily remove and replace them." is a little vague, i wonder if requiring a screwdriver could be considered easily removable.
