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

    I imagine it's going to be similar to user replaceable displays, you'll need a couple specialized tools to break open the glue holding the case together etc. and a device-spesific guide. So not everyone is going to be able to do it, but there's a reasonable possibilty.
