It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027

I absolutely loathe the EU and it's institutions, but every once in a while a pro consumer standardization is a good coming out of them.
I mean this could happen in Europe, but I suspect something as integral to design/engineering might have Apple wanting to go ahead and split the designs between Europe and other markets. They just love control too much I think to go big in on this feature everywhere.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
