Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

The law doesn't touch on that at all my man. Commercially available tools and without the use of solvents or thermal energy. You may not consider that user replaceable but that's the law as written. And that's able to be done currently on the overwhelming majority of cell phones. In other devices it is a major change, but even this thread is "Smartphones".
