It is already official, and it is that thanks to a new law approved today by the European Unionsmartphone manufacturers must have user-replaceable batteries with no experience or tools by 2027, including terminals like the iPhone.
In this way, with the law in hand, we should go back to the times where changing the battery was simply a manual task of two or three minutes, something that, for users with extreme use of their terminal, It allowed having more than one battery to get through the day.
It should be noted that one final step is still missing, and that is for the European Council and Parliament to sign this law for it to come into effect. Although it is a law with jurisdiction in Europe, the reality is that manufacturers do not design very different terminals for each market, since it is cheaper to adopt all the most restrictive laws of the different markets and create a terminal that can be sold in all with minimal modifications.
Without a doubt, this is a very important step forward to ensure that users can continue using their terminals. without fear that a simple battery change will end up with an unusable terminal, either due to software crashes such as on the iPhoneor due to an extremely high difficulty for its change.
