I’m hearing mixed things on how impacted Apple will be re:batteries, since they already sell replacement kits to the users. It sounds like they may just need to make them available to all member states? Not sure if anyone has actual insight beyond reading a headline.
You need to be able to Open the phone without tools to swap the battery with the new law
You need to be able to open it with commercially available tools or ones provided by the manufacturer. This isn't to bring back swappable batteries, only replaceable ones.
So we all end up with fatter phones that aren’t waterproof like we had in 2006?
I would like my phone to stay somewhat water proof. This will make that very difficult.
