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.
I love water resistance. You don’t need to get rid of water resistance for removal batteries, we had both, together, at the same time, before. Samsung s5 active.
As an owner of an S5 and S5 active, I had to say that I loved those phones.
It’s 100% imperative that some of the people in my circle have waterproof phones. My BIL sat down in the lake and forgot he had put his phone in his swim trunks pocket. Instakill.
My phones are constantly wet (not like that, degenerates) and IP68 has saved me more money than repairability.
