    Thankfully the eu will mandate common sense starting in next year’s devices… So replaceable batteries are back!

    I’m tired of everyone copying apple. The ecosystem should be diverse with competition not captured and exploitative

      Thats not correct. The law only applies from 2027, and there are exceptions for smartphones and tablets.

      Basically it doesn’t need to be user replaceable if the battery is rated for at least 83% capacity after 500 charging cycles and at least 80% capacity after 1000 charging cycles.
