I’m hearing mixed things on how impacted Apple will be re:batteries, since they already sell replacement kits to the users. It sounds like they may just need to make them available to all member states? Not sure if anyone has actual insight beyond reading a headline.
You need to be able to Open the phone without tools to swap the battery with the new law
I would like my phone to stay somewhat water proof. This will make that very difficult.
There is always the option to buy a waterproof case if you really need it. I personally would sacrifice the waterproof capabilities for being able to swap a fresh battery in and not needing to charge the phone or carry an external battery
