Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us

  It states that any battery should be removable and replaceable by the user. So this slap on tactic will only work if your device has no internal battery.

  I also noticed this is for all batteries. Not just phones, but also cars etc.

    “Replaceable by user” has a lot of wiggle room. It could still be a 20-minute process that risks damaging other parts and requires specialized tools.

    If phones are to keep their water resistance, they almost certainly won’t be topless, and will involve swapping out gaskets. It’ll be something you can do to replace a failed battery, not a quick swap because you went camping for the weekend and threw an extra battery in the bag since there are no outlets.

      Could you read and understand the information behind the link before replying with nonsense?

        “User replaceable” just means that they have to make it possible, not easy.

        None of that addresses his point that “removable by the user” is not clearly defined. I didn’t see any definition for it in the link you posted.

      Yeah, Apples replacement kit requires like 11k deposit and comes in two 75 pound pelican cases.

    What do you mean only if it has no internal battery? This will make it so they can’t fuse a battery in place and call it internal. It has to be removable.

      That is what I meant?

      That it is nice the op has a battery-case for their phone, but that it will not fly under the new law unless the phone has no internal battery.

        You mean an internal battery in addition to a main removable one? Sorry if I’m being dense.

  I agree. I used to carry a spare at all times as well. So nice to be able to swap as soon as you get close to empty. I’m hoping we’ll get back there eventually.
