Among the many changes, the new rules would require batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easily removable and replaceable. That’s far from the case today…

    I held onto my older GalaxyNote for this very reason. During the good times of PokeGo it was like having a super power to just switch out my battery and be back to 100%.

    Interesting.

    I remember struggling to find a phone with replaceable battery. The galaxy S3 was good because of this. “We can’t make the battery replaceable, otherwise the phone won’t be waterproof”, yeah that was bullshit.

    This will make the phone more expensive and this is totally fine and expected.
