Phones were designed with non-removable batteries for a reason. It’s not just to screw w/ the customer and make them pay someone to replace their phone battery. It’s to aid in water resistance and to help with a smaller form factor. This will lead to nothing good. And I’m sure it will carry over to other countries as well as I’m sure a lot of phone manufacturers won’t want to make special models JUST for the EU.

Just another example of the EU imposing nonsense regulations that will screw over the rest of the world, like their stupid cookie popup nonsense.
