TL;DR
- The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries.
- By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise.
- The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.
Only because the US government doesn’t feel like doing any actual governing whatsoever.
they’re too busy throwing shit at each other (ai debate that’s too real) to govern anything.
