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.

    They should make less expensive to repair in my opinion. Also, if EU want so bad to reduce e-waste it should make repair shops tax exempt, plus the parts. It’s already mandatory for brands to supply parts for about 10 years as far as I know, the repair price just needs to get cheaper.
