    EU is working their way towards forcing all handhelds to have “easily replaceable” batteries by 2027.

    Hopefully this will be good news globally in this regard.

      Not sure how that would work. I could imagine they’re already as replaceable as they can be while being in a water proof phone.

        Somehow other phone manufacturers were able to combine both: water proofing and easy swapable batteries. Some even include a headphone jack!

          If I had to choose between it being waterproof or having an easily replaceable battery I’d probably go for the waterproofing. But I’m happy to have it both ways if that‘s an option.
