It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:
The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.
Because back in the olden days you could just hold down the physical power button to force a phone to shut down, same as you can do on computers still. This bypasses the frozen software and forces the phone to shut down so you can reboot it.
You still can ? All phones have a power button.
If my phone is frozen it doesn’t respond to the power button because it’s software shutdown
Have you held it for 45 seconds?
This isn’t true. You just have to hold the hardware restart combination for longer.
Pretty sure if you hold power and sounds button there is an hardware feature that shutdown the everything and reboot.
You can still absolutely do it
iPhone X and later: Click Volume Up, then Down, then hold the Power Button for 10-15 seconds
Android Devices: Hold Volume Down + Power for around 7-15 seconds
