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

Why not? Many companies already have US exclusive SKUs. Some companies like Samsung even have a history of shipping completely different SOCs.

A different chip is a different scenario. We're talking about how the entire design, case etc has to accommodate for a removable battery.

Different SOC means different motherboard, different antenna layout, different everything. It's no different from making battery removable.
