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.

    who cares?

    I do. I still think it’s a good idea to have swappable batteries, but I indeed do care about how it looks.

      while yes i do agree that i want my device to look nice, its more of a secondary to me,

      I also feel like there’s ways companies could make new designs that incorporate a removable battery that dont look ugly or old, hell even if the design is not as easy to take the back door off as some of the older phones thats fine, as long as i dont have to disassemble the entire phone just to swap the battery im happy.

        It’s amazing how much people talk out there asses.

        This shit is the epitomy of truthiness.

        I have zero experience but I could totally make a small phone looks good and it’s water proof. Easy peasy.
