    Yes, that will be interesting!

    They may have to make them bigger or just rethink the designs.

    They do have time, 4 years, 2027 right.

    Who says flexible batteries couldn't be made replaceable? The might have to attach it differently than using glue, but other than that, I don't see why it can't be replaceable. Additionally, replaceable does not have to mean that you can just click open a back cover and pull it out. It could also mean that you have to remove x number of screws to remove it, which is still fine.
