The last time I heard phone batteries catching fire was the Samsung Note 7 and those weren’t user replacable. There’s a lot of fearmongering on what you wrote, it almost sounds like a script the manufacturers’ lobby would write to avoid this legislation. Are you really assuming the EU doesn’t have laws and safety regulations for Li-ion batteries et al.?
And Boost will apparently be included as a patchable app in ReVanced Manager, allowing any user to use thir own API. i’m sure there could have been a very sensible way for 3rd party app developers continue their amazing work and Reddit get a share of the profits…This Elon Effect is stupid to a default
Not sure if that regulation is needed. Back when phone batteries were removable, there were quite a few options available. I remember Nokia genuine batteries being very expensive and it was easy to find third-party cheaper options. That’s kind of how it still works in digital cameras, although Nikon apparently is trying to stop 3rd-party batteries on their models
Not in Cape Town it won’t, OP xD
