Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won’t anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

    I hope so too. But if somehow the cost to manufacture phones with removable batteries is higher then I doubt they’d switch the existing production line to removable battery. I hope I’m wrong, to be honest.

      This is what happens in the US when California passes a big consumer friendly law. The companies just adapt to whatever California said because it’s too expensive to have California versions and non-California versions. California’s population is high and their economy is big. Double plus if NY is in on it.

      The cost isn’t that much higher. The profit they get from people buying new phone when battery dies, however, is completely different story
