It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

Battery pull was always a great way to unfuck a frozen phone

What do you have against waiting a day or two, not being able to use the phone, for the battery to run out so that you can reboot it? Simply removing the battery seems like to much effort. /s

Phones have a hardware interrupt. Just hold the power button for 30 to 45 seconds.

I had issues with my phone (OP8P) where that didn't helped.

I pressed the power button for minutes and the phone stayed unresponsive, only letting it run out of energy solved it.
