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…

    Finally. So tired of having to replace a phone simply because the battery no longer lasts a day, while the rest of it is still functional.

      You can just replace the batteries in most phones for $100 or so. No need to buy another $500-$1000 phone.

      You may or may not lose water resistance, but im sure you can live with that vs having to buy another one.
