I suspect some companys will absolutely use this as Marketing stunt " Look how customer friendly we are" cant wait for the Iphone advertisements that make it look like they invented it for the first time ( they advertised in germany still like 3 months ago that you can delete sent messages )

So likely some companys will Release way earlier phones with Removeable batterys is my guess

    I wish these regulations would have shorter timeframes. It does not take 4 years to add a removeable battery. Decrease it to 2 years

      Feel ya . but i guess they need to leave the companys time to plan new phones and processes and i guess the next line up is already pretty much done so they obviously cant force companys to scrap those

        I imagine it’s much more complicated than just having an openable case. I don’t think it’s an unfair timeframe, it’s just unfortunate we got to this point to begin with.
