Among the many changes, the new rules would require batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easily removable and replaceable. That's far from the case today...

    Interesting.

    I remember struggling to find a phone with replaceable battery. The galaxy S3 was good because of this. “We can’t make the battery replaceable, otherwise the phone won’t be waterproof”, yeah that was bullshit.

    This will make the phone more expensive and this is totally fine and expected.
