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

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.

      Thinness is not necessarily something that’s super important to most people.

      Also, even if it was, my LG V20 is basically the same thickness as my iPhone 13. I say “basically” because the phone with a replaceable battery is actually slightly thinner in this comparison.
