TL;DR

  • The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries.
  • By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise.
  • The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.

I'm in a similar boat. The only time I do plug in headphones (via the usb port) is on nights I'm having a very hard time fall asleep. But I do that at the expense of being able to charge my phone 😔

    Man, that sucks. One of the other things for me is that you can buy decent headphones for like seven bucks with a 3.5mm jack. Most USB headsets are going to be a lot more expensive.

    Does your phone support qi charging? That could be a solution if it does.
