EU forcing manufacturers to all have removable batteries again by 2027.

Nothing like "upgrading" your phone's life back in the day by buying a bigger battery replacement

Replaceable batteries. I don't think it means popping open a battery cover like the old days, I think it means a way to DIY repair to replace the battery.

Samsung Galaxy S5 supremacy; what a revolutionary phone that had it all: heart rate reader, IR blaster, replaceable battery, SD card slot, headphone jack, fingerprint reader, and IP67 rating.

I can pop open the back cover and take the battery out on my Fairphone :)

I am pretty sure the free market forces will cause phones without re moveable batteries to not sell as well
