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

    Probably, not sure why they'd have two separate manufacturing processes for the same phone.

      I forget if its still this way, but for a while android phones, especially samsung would have two separate processors for the US and EU models. basically two different devices in the same chassis.

          Yeah I think they stopped doing it, but for a while it was the snapdragon and the Exynos

      I mean iPhone 15 is getting USB-C simply because they don't wanna do that
