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.

        The law doesn’t touch on that at all my man. Commercially available tools and without the use of solvents or thermal energy. You may not consider that user replaceable but that’s the law as written. And that’s able to be done currently on the overwhelming majority of cell phones. In other devices it is a major change, but even this thread is “Smartphones”.
