EU: Smartphones Must Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027
EU: Smartphones Must Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027
The European Parliament just caused a major headache for smartphone and tablet manufacturers.
obviously, but stuff like this is still neat 
Now it seems Apple will need to figure out how to allow access to the battery inside future iPhones, as will every other smartphone manufacturer.
Eat shit and drink piss, Apple. I have a desk drawer full of old phones with removable batteries, we had this shit figured out 20 years ago
You're viewing a single thread.
Oh shit, maybe next we'll get the headphone jacks back.
I don't really miss them that much tbh. Even cheapo bluetooth airbuds are pretty good nowadays and there are probably some good wired USB-C options if you're really hell bent on having wires everywhere.
You don't miss the jack until you're suddenly faced with a need for it, away from all your adapters. Nothing beats just a single common plug that can interface with every bit of audio electronics ever.
I love my bt ear buds but 98% of bluetooth audio gear is ewaste from the factory.
USB C options suck because it means you can't charge the phone at the same time
Sure you can...a splitter is like $5.
Yay extra things to carry around
