TL;DR
- The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries.
- By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise.
- The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.
@Chadsmo @reclipse I’d say they will probably do the Europe only model while the rest of us get a non replaceable battery model
I think a Europe only phone that is comprised on design is more likely than no iPhone at all yeah.
Then the rest of us will get really pissed unless the EU version is shit.
And then hopefully non Europeans can import that model to enjoy the benefits
@EddieTee77 that would be nice
