pleaseeeeeeee bring this to the u.s. 🤞
As long as they’re not region locked, you should hopefully be able to import them if nothing else. I’d absolutely pay some extra import costs to be able to easily swap out my battery.
Same. I’m perfectly happy with my current phone. Especially when the changes to knew phones tends to be less and less now, and its mostly just adding more power which I currently dont need. I plan to get the battery changed in probably another year to stretch out its use. But it’s gonna cost me money to get it done. So with my next phone I might as well just pay to get it shipped instead of having to take it to someone.
I’m hoping that, similar to USB-C, this just forces Apple to make the iPhone better.
In most cases, when the EU passes a law to make something happen, it’s cheaper for manufacturers to make that EU-compliant device available worldwide rather than make a specific version just for the EU market. So, I’d expect user-replaceable batteries in flagship smartphones to be available in the US by 2027 also.
