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.

      Of fucking course you pay for the battery how is that a factor in the least bit? Gimme a general location and I’ll find a shop for you.

      I love these strawmen where people are buying iphones and don’t have access to a repair shop. If that’s a reality, you are on the slim minority.

          Bullshit. Gimme a general location and I’ll find a local shop to replace batteries for far less than $60.

          I’ve known lots of iPhone users who have failing batteries and they just suffer through an unreliable phone until they have money for a replacement

          So you know idiots? If they are dumb enough to 'save for a replacement ’ while a cheap repair is available what makes you think they are going to take the time to figure out there batteries? You’re pissed off with lazy wasteful people, not batteries.
