    When they do come to it. I hope its the easily swappable like the ones in Nokia 3310. Otherwise its pointless imo.

      AFAIK, the EU defines “user replaceable” as literally that; you open a hatch, pull the battery out and stick a new one in.

          They’ll make the replacement so expensive nobody will do it. And then there will be a new rule mandating it needs to be a reasonable price. Apple will say it’s reasomable because it factors in environmental costs, and so the dance continues.

        Pretty sure the draft allowed “common tools” or specialised tools if they came in box.
