Apple is making the wrong argument here. They already make an external battery pack that attaches magnetically. They also already offer battery replacement by a tech through service. They should be pointing at that, rather than saying they can’t figure out a way to redesign their phone.

I’m honestly amazed their PR people couldn’t spin it better. Truth be told, if it gets legislated then they’ll figure out a way to do it, or will make some design compromises. It won’t be the end of the world.
