I personally don’t understand the purpose of this law. I’ve never discarded a phone due to battery issues (iPhone user). It’s usually just been a slow device, sometimes due to a failing charging port or 3.5mm Jack. I’d rather have the opportunity to replace ports, screens, and buttons.

Do any of you guys experience issues needing a battery replacement that often?

I do not like this, at all.

I don’t want to replace my battery. I want my battery to last. 5 years, at least.

This legislation will achieve the opposite and paves the way for batteries that are just crap and need replacement after 12 or 18 months. The companies have no motivation to make better batteries, protect them better against premature degradation.

Sounds good, but generates a lot of trash.

So... At the end lf the article, it also mention non-recheargeable battery used in devices. But where? (watch, maybe?). All of those I know are the easiliy repleaceable ones which can also be switched with recheargeable one's.

(Actually, if Wikipedia is to trust and up to date. Those so called primary battery indeed have an important market share)

Awesome!

My three iPhones were the only devices that had non-replaceable batteries. Every device before and after those had it including my current one; Samsung XCover 6Pro

A removable battery in the perfect surveillance device? There's no such thing.
