How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? - eviltoast

I have a feeling they’re gonna charge like $200 to $400 more then blame the regulators.

    they will put the battery in a section not waterproof under the back cover. the replacement battery will come with a waterproof glue circle around the contacts. when replacing it, you will rub off some old glue and seal it again by inserting the new one. water can enter the back cover, but do no harm there.
