Among the many changes, the new rules would require batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easily removable and replaceable. That's far from the case today...

    Batteries used to be considered to be a part that needs to be replaced as part of regular maintenance, because they deteriorate pretty fast compared to the other parts. The fact that anyone ever thought batteries should not be replaceable astonishes me.

      The batteries last longer now than the phone is usable with newer versions of the OS.

      Apple got caught throttling older phones
