Among the many changes, the new rules would require batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easily removable and replaceable. That's far from the case today...
IDK about this one, removable batteries will generally mean less water resistance won't it? Also, these days batteries are custom built for every phone so that they can be as large as possible. Forcing them to be easily replaceable might screw that up.
I love the EU's approach to consumer repair rights, but I think this one might do more harm than good.
