Chances are most companies aren’t going to make two separate production lines with and without a removable battery. The cost likely outweighs the profit i’d wager. Much like how we see apple finally begrudgingly moving to USB-C despite no NA law requiring them to do so.

A different chip is a different scenario. We’re talking about how the entire design, case etc has to accommodate for a removable battery.

This is what happens in the US when California passes a big consumer friendly law. The companies just adapt to whatever California said because it’s too expensive to have California versions and non-California versions. California’s population is high and their economy is big. Double plus if NY is in on it.
There’s just going to be more plastic phones.
The cost isn’t that much higher. The profit they get from people buying new phone when battery dies, however, is completely different story
