Just get a Fairphone, with every module screwed into place. Except the battery, you can just take that out by hand.
That's true, but if the EU could force every phone maker to make the battery replaceable by the customer this would be a huuuuuuge step in the right direction and reduce electronic waste.
It's already enforced. All devices sold in the EU from 2027 will need a user-replaceable battery.
We're going to see some manufacturers come out with those devices sooner, though. I hope.
Ah thanks, didnt knew that.
Also, the batteries need to be available at a reasonable price to the user.
Or they'll start scheming
