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

TL;DR

  • The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries.
  • By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise.
  • The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.

    you could easily add a charging coil in the back of the phone and just have some contacts

    my fairphone 4 already has a pair of contacts on its back, with accompanying pogo pins in the body, although i think that’s just for an nfc antenna. still, the same system would totally work
