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

I wonder how apple will react to this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably voiding warranty for any phone that has its battery replaced by the user instead of having it done at an apple store/apple vertified store. Or some good old planned obsolescence where the phone detects a replacement battery and just stops working as fast as it used to. Anything to get people to buy the next new iphone every year.

I don't think Apple really want to be caught to do somenthing they are already been condemned for, at least not in EU...
