Holy fuck this is insane. EU is doing something right (still salty about them wanting encryption keys but provisions to improve repair of hardware is big)

This i fucking loved the times around Samsung S4 , i literarily could just go and buy a replacement battery on amazon even with 200 MAH more snap the old one out and new one in BAM better battery.

Exchanging battery for my Poco x3 pro is complicated and would cost me atleast 70-80€ thats literarily half the device lol

Exactly! How I wish the US and Canada would implement such rules too, but I know it's not going to happen

Comes up to if its cheaper for them to produce all phones with removeable batterys.

i bet it is , and they will race to use it as selling point" LOOK how revolutionary we are Removeable battery PLS BUY US "

Cant wait for the ads for the next Iphone playing it out like its the best thing in 1000 years and that its entirely new lol

I don't actually care about their marketing that much, but removable batteries on mobiles is the right direction moving forward. Batteries are literally the only reason why I can't use a 5 year old mobile

Ye same my poco x3 pro that is coming close to 2 years kinda needs soon one, it's slower charging and the battery is at 83-79% health it could use a new one but man... Swapping it is so complicated in it and paying someone is like 50% of the device.
