Smartphones May Finally Fix The Battery Problem Everyone Hates

Remember the good old days when the best and worst phones had removable batteries, which also increased their durability to some extent. Because most of the parts of a device were replaceable in that era, but things have been very different for a long time now. However, this new rule by the European Union is sending shockwaves around the smartphone manufacturing industry. According to the new rules, all the smartphones brands operating in the European have to meet new standards under which the biggest change will be removable batteries. The new rule asks the manufacturers to design phones with batteries that users can replace themselves. This has been confirmed in a report by Noticias Trabajo. And yes, due to this, we may get to see slightly

thicker and heavier devices in the future. That's not it, the EU has also asked the manufacturers to include batteries that can handle a large number of charge cycles without compromising performance. Furthermore, the smartphone producers have to make spare parts available for up to ten years with easily available repair manuals.US Security Agency Turns To Anthropic Despite Pentagon 'Supply Chain Risk' Warning

Will The Smartphone Brands Bow Down?

This is not the first time the European Union has been adamant about passing a rule that will shake the core of smartphone brands. Previously, in 2020, Apple faced the same fate when the EU asked the Cupertino-based tech giant to remove lightning cables and offer universal charging on their smartphones. As of now, we don't have a single Apple phone by Apple all over the globe that didn't follow the rule. Coming to the latest one, the European Union has given the deadline until 2027, which means the brands will obviously go against the Union in the court of law. But at the end, defeating the Union on points that actually are in favour of customers is a touch nut to crack. That being said, the removable batteries and spare parts feature can be manifested after 2030.
