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 think both thermal design and waterproofing is easier with nonremovable batteries. But that's fine, I'm okay with slightly shittier phones that last longer. Also okay with risking water damage, as I think batteries no longer holding charge is more common than water damage anyway. Hell, I've had more issues with moisture sensors than actual water damage lol.
