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

The EU almost forced the phone industry to start using standardised/interchangeable batteries.

If the batteries cost as much as a new phone, they'll reconsider that decision.

It's so dumb that a standard hasn't been developed yet. Like AA/C/D, 18650 batteries, etc. They could have modular batteries with different sizes and capacities that work interchangeably.

It took forty years for aa batteries to become a standard. They were a trademark type by I think everready.
