What're the odds this will carry over to the US out of convenience? I'd love for the batteries in phones to become more repairable over here, and I hope that companies would simply make all phones repairable from here on out to make things easier on themselves, but do you think they would, from now on, make two separate iPhones that have repairable batteries (EU) and non-repairable batteries (US & everywhere else)?
I can't imagine Apple is going to have a totally different battery and case design for the EU. But if they go down that path... you could just buy the EU model.
You'd probably be missing a few network bands for US carriers, though.
The industry as a whole has already shown they don't care much about such efficiencies, as long as they can pass any cost on to the consumer. Consumers need to rise up. The disappearance of the replaceable battery worldwide was caused by consumers not caring about this as a selection criterion in the first place.
