My pixel 4a battery isn’t soldered but I needed to spend 45 minutes taking it apart and it’s definitely not something the average phone user would be comfortable doing. We need to pass (in the US) some sort of legislation that makes it simple to replace phone batteries.

Fat chance. Our only hope is that the EU does it

Didn’t they already do that?

The law needs to be signed still but it is estimated that realisticly easily replaceable batteries in smartphones should hit around 2027…

They did. They are required to be on all phones sold in EU 2027.

Oh it took me about 4 hours recently to replace the battery in my galaxy note 10. Most of that time was painstakingly cleaning up the old adhesives and gaskets with alcohol, tweezers and scrapers.
