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...
Is blanket forbidding glued parts practical? It’s the obvious simple way to attach some things. I’m not sure if the tools even exist to package a wafer with just screws, for example.
Of course, this is the EU and they’ve shown themself capable of legislating away only the dumb parts of an industry.
@withersailor Hopefully it doesn’t end here, but also includes the option to easily replace parts and to forbid using glued parts.

Being able to easily replace a screen would be amazing.
