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…

Lmao no this is shit. Say goodbye to durability as well as any water resistance while making phones bulkier to boot. You can already swap the battery on most non-fruit-branded phones while maintaining water resistance if you do it right (actually it would “reup” the water resistance if anything due to fresh adhesive, again assuming it’s done right).
There’s no reason you HAVE to sacrifice durability and water resistance. It’d just cost a tiny bit more in materials, which I’m perfectly fine with given how much this would save the environment.
? How do you swap batteries on most phones nowadays in 5 seconds?
Where did I say anything about swapping the battery in 5 seconds? So if it takes longer than 5 seconds it doesn’t count?
User-replaceable batteries do NOT use adhesive. It’s even directly stated in the EU specs.
They found out how to waterproof walkmans with replaceable batteries and cds. Pretty sure they can figure out phones.
Yeah it’s definitely possible. I remember my waterproof Walkman.
Source? Or, or more specifically, model numbers of these waterpoof walkmans?
Would you also like family members, contact info, and penis size for the engineers who built them?
Screw the environment. I demand convenience instead!
The level of entitlement people have nowadays is insane, especially regarding issues that they are happy to say are super important. They just refuse to give up an iota of cenvenience to do anything about it.
Pssst, the environment isn’t affected at least as far as Android phones are concerned as they allow battery swapping. I’ve swapped the batteries myself personally in my Nexus 4, 5, 6p, Pixel XL, Pixel 3 XL, and Pixel 4 XL. It’s not that hard. You’re allowing yourself to support bullshit with the virtue signal of muh environment which works out really well! Just look at Germany! Oh, right…
