Phones were designed with non-removable batteries for a reason. It's not just to screw w/ the customer and make them pay someone to replace their phone battery. It's to aid in water resistance and to help with a smaller form factor. This will lead to nothing good. And I'm sure it will carry over to other countries as well as I'm sure a lot of phone manufacturers won't want to make special models JUST for the EU.
Just another example of the EU imposing nonsense regulations that will screw over the rest of the world, like their stupid cookie popup nonsense.
Listen to the guy, please
I did. But while he says society has amnesia, he hasn't fully thought some things through himself. First, he compares to the Sony XP 10 phone. However... That phone has a non removable battery as well. So he screwed that up. Then he compares to the S5. The S5 has 1) a much smaller battery than today's phones, 2) an older and smaller radio, 3) and is something like 15% thicker than the S22, and 4) the S5 was IP67 certified when most devices these days are IP68.
Some concessions will have to be made and they'll have to come from somewhere.
