The European Parliament just caused a major headache for smartphone and tablet manufacturers.

eu-cool obviously, but stuff like this is still neat sicko-jammin

Now it seems Apple will need to figure out how to allow access to the battery inside future iPhones, as will every other smartphone manufacturer.

Eat shit and drink piss, Apple. I have a desk drawer full of old phones with removable batteries, we had this shit figured out 20 years ago

    Might need the user to occasionally check and replace a rubber gasket on the battery compartment or something, but having a replaceable battery outweighs that by so much. If the battery on my old phone wasn't dying I'd still be using it, all I do is watch youtube and doomscroll anyways.
