The EU forced Apple to allow users to replace their own batteries, Apple did so by making the process as troublesome for users as possible. (www.ifixit.com)

I remember when Apple was better. MacBooks were designed so that users could easily replace the battery, storage, and memory. But now, these parts are not designed to be replaced by users. The storage and memory is soldered, and the batteries are glued in.

Yes I think it's very good that the EU is pushing smartphone makers to have replaceable batteries. I hope these companies don't find a way around that.

There is of course Fairphone which has a replaceable battery, but Fairphones are a bit expensive. But I think there is a demand for this sort of thing. Look at how Framework laptops have got a lot of attention.
