Smartphone brands could be forced to bring back removable batteries

I really dont care and dont see why most care either

So that a perfectly usable phone doesn't become unusable after 2 years?

Why would it become unusable after 2 years?

Didn't apple already say they're only doing that in the EU and nowhere else?

Edit: nah, usb-c and that was just heavily rumored

Breh, iphones are water proof. My point is that with removable batteries, the phones won't be as waterproof.

And I'm telling you that's not the case Samsung was doing that over a decade ago

The American cell companies were monopolizing bad and people couldn't see it unless they'd been abroad and seen the glaring differences.
No Sim cards, you could only use phone with a single carrier..all contract phones and no removal batteries. Basically less freedom
