It will require design changes, but there are already plenty of options to make it happen.
Nah, there’s basically no design changes needed. Pretty much everyone already complies with the new EU laws. People seem to think the new laws mean you’ll just be unclipping the back of your phone and chucking a new battery in like in the nokia days lol. All it means is that you won’t need proprietary tools to open your phone. You’ll still need to disassemble the phone as usual. Basically nothing changes for the big OEMs already. It’s not going to make replacing your battery on your own any easier.

Why do you think they’d go through all the effort of passing these rules if they were perfectly happy to keep the status quo?
