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...
Hell yes! This has been a big sticking point for me since they started being removed around 2016. I hung on to my Note 4 until it was tired around 2019/2020, bought an LG V20 as it was the most recent ‘flagship’ still using a removable battery, then I finally crossed over to the darkside with the S21 Ultra.
Hopefully options will open up over the next few years as even if you don’t want a removable battery, your preference shouldn’t dictate the entire market. The smart phone market is way too homogeneous where every phone is essentially the same in a mildly different brick shape with a different logo.
