▲ 26 ▼ It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027 (www.androidauthority.com) submitted 3 years ago by reclipse@lemdro.id to c/android@lemdro.id 27 comments fedilink hide all child comments TL;DR The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries. By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise. The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.

If you can replace a battery super easy your probably more likely to have the same device for longer thus reducing e waste. Also it would have been better to force fully repairable phones I'm sure this is step 1 we are seeing now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] traveler01@lemdro.id -3 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
