Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

I support replaceable batteries, I do. But I want one person to show me all the cellphone models that are going to have to change their design to comply with this law. No device I have done this repair on is affected. You don't have to have thermal energy, and all the bits and picks needed are already available for $30 or less. So I'm seriously failing to understand just why people keep conflating this with cellphones when they already are abiding by this

The law affects every device with a rechargable battery. Not just phones.

So b3øecause the law just says all devices with a rechargable battery, and we all have phones..

A lot of phones are not easy to replace batteries on without ruining the glass back or whatever. Thats not "user replacable" basically. Some are easier than others though.

I thought there were large exceptions for water proofing etc..?

Gonna be fun to see new tech for it to still be water resistant.
