  • It's NOT just phones.

    It's EVERYTHING with a battery. Including cars, laptops, e-bikes, video game controllers, headphones etc. (im not even sure if there are exceptions, such as tiny tiny "airpod" like things.. ?)

    And they must be (with a few exceptions) replacable by a "layman", without the use of special tools - which means no heat pads, to soften up glue etc etc. (and for gods sake, i hope it also means apple can't hardwareID lock a battery)

    an exception mentioned in the EU document about the law says, high power batteries for example in an electric car, must be done by a profesional - but of course it still has to be "replacable" and not.. tear the whole car apart and rebuild it using new batteries.

    replacable batteries in headphones, bluetooth mice, laptops etc, is gonna be awesome.

    and lets not forget, they have to recycle the old ones - and produce new batteries using recycled materials.

    in fact, i will try to hold on replacing my current (2 year old) phone, and wait to get one before 2027. Usually the battery turns to shit in 3ish years.

  • most manufacturers may just make a global model and claim they're doing it for the good of the consumer because they're just so nice. Even though its caused by the EU, and making one just for EU that has replacable batteries (which most consumers WANT) , would be shitty

    its most likely gonna be possible yes. its probably as simple as importing one... from whichever online retailer you like.

  • But we wont hear llts response to this.. lol

    If she had several tweets of bullshit about the company, it might not have been like this 100%.. but ill bet that this is just one out of several people who felt screwed working there

  • Politicians should have the same income as they did before becominh politicians

    This means they to get out and get a real job before going into politics. Seeing how things work.preventing dumb career politicians from having no clue how people live.

  • Its fair enough. They gotta protect their ass.
