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 don’t miss headphone jacks either, as Bluetooth is really convenient

    Maybe it's just me but I'd rather not buy earbuds that have a built in expiration date in the form of batteries. I don't think a marginal convenience benefit is worth that.
